William MASON wed Mary KING circa 1833 in Tynemouth?

I agree with Jen. 

Hopefully the Scrimshaw marriage will confirm that it is the same Sarah

Hurrah!  North Shields library has re-opened! Heating problem sorted!

Unfortunately, however, marriage record at this Church is in the old format:

Page 71 Entry 212

'George Scrimshaw of this Parish Bachelor and Sarah Jane Blakey of this Parish Spinster were Married in this Church, by Banns with the Consent of (Blank space appears) this 24th Day of July in the Year One Thousand Right Hundred and Sixty Five By me John (----?) Curate
George signed
Sarah Jane signed with her mark.
In the presence of
Thomas Blaky (sic)
Jane Waugh



Oh dear! A bit disappointing that this old format does not provide more informative information.

How disappointing. So the only way to check out the father’s occupation would be to purchase the certificate 

That is for looking RTL.

[JenB]

It's very strange, because there is a transcription online which clearly gives the fathers' names, Thomas Blakey and George Scrimshaw    The film number is 1068933, which is for Christ Church Tynemouth Parish registers. So there is also a 'modern' format parish register somewhere or other

This is strange indeed because the information I provided is all that is there.  I have spoken to the staff at the library and this person wonders if what you have seen on-line is due to a transcription error?

I don't think it can be a transcription error. The father's names are definitely given.  In addition the ages of Sarah and George are given. There must also have been a 'modern' version of the marriage document, because a copy of this would have to be sent to the GRO.

[rosie99]

The ages showing on one of the transcripts on familysearch also make me think that there is another record of it.  I have not come across a reference to 'digital folder' in my research on familysearch so don't know what the source of that would be

[River Tyne Lass]

You are both right!  Your persistence has paid off Jen!  I have never known anything like this .. apparently there IS another film showing the modern version!! 

Give me a minute or two to type up .. all will be revealed soon!!
