Marriage lookup - Andrew Foyzey + Mary ant. 1828

Gawd....  so it could be Mary Boukley/Bowkley or Bonkley!?

You have to remember that a lot of the Church clerks/vicars etc wrote down what they heard and you also have to take into consideration the regional accents. They may have been literate but could they spell? I never cease to be amazed by the various spelling of names, particularly the more unusual ones.

Yes, of course! Fully understand. 

Still can’t find a marriage registry though.

Did the one you find have anymore information? I’m trying the trace back Mary’s family ...and I was hoping for a relatives name being mentioned lol!

Unfortunately it was only the Banns so no other details.

There is a baptism for a Mary Buckley in Lilleshall 1 December 1811 parents George and Rosannah - image on FindMyPast.

I have just discovered that the marriage Register for Lilleshall is on FindMyPast but there is no marriage for Andrew to Mary so they either didn't get married or married in a different church somewhere else and the reading of the Banns took place in Lilleshall because it was possibly Mary's (or may be even Andrew's) Parish. It was not uncommon, if the couple came from two different parishes, for the Banns to be read in both Churches.

Sorry about that.

Thanks for both replies!

Although now I’m not sure which one it is!! 

As both Andrew and Mary are listed as coming from wombridge and wrockerdine, salop on the 1851 & 1861 census’, I figured the Lilleshall one was then.

But the spelling of the other registry is closer to Andrews surname. However their first child was christening in Dec 1829 (I think) so if they did marry in Sept 1829, someone was probably showing a bit!! Lol!!!
