Hi

Seeking information on a marriage between Herbert Bower and Charlotte Wells Circa 1853 in Acomb Yorkshire.  Would anyone know how to find which church this would have been please.

Rather than force someone else to look it up from the (not-provided) reference, put the details in yourself.

Marriage took place 09 November 1853,both stating that they were of full age and bachelor and spinster respectively. Herbert Bower lists his occupation as Mason and his residence as Sheffield. Charlotte's residence is Acomb.

Fathers: John (could be Bower, but the writing is not that clear, farmer) and John Wells, butcher.

Vicar is Isaac (Spiner?) and witnesses are John Wells and Margaret (Nell / Neil?)

In answer to your original question - the church was St Stephen, Acomb.

Thankyou to you all , you are all very kind to put yourselves out to help me.  I am a new researcher and haven't yet discovered where I can find all this information. But now I am another step closer and with some new websites to help.

Hi , Thank you that is a very kind offer, would you know if the old parish registers are still on site or would they be kept in archives? We are currently caravaning near York so we could do a detour if necessary.  Thank you

I didn't know members were forced to do look ups..
