You will probably need to buy a copy of the Marriage Certificate.
Unless someone has access to Parish Registers?

To look up a marriage in parish records you need to know which church it took place in.  If it was a civil marriage (registry office) it can't be looked up

These are all the areas contained within the Oswestry RD

Many thanks to those that replied I decided to get the certificate. I am awaiting the marriage certificate next week so hopefully can make progress with the Jones and Roberts families.

Is anyone familiar with Lancashire burials around Whitworth please ? The family came from Wales to Lancashire.

I have checked Rochdale Cemetery Whitworth and Bacup for a burial of Richard Roberts of Shawforth railway porter died 7th April 1946 of Market Street Shawforth.  Is there somewhere else nearby that I am missing?  His wife died and is buried at Bacup Cemetery 20 Feb 1932.

Many thanks again.

I've just checked the register and find that I've looked at this entry before so it could be a relative of mine or a previous look up.

I'll see what I can find.

Hello friends I would be greatful for some help,

I received the certificate from the GRO recently but I would not have found this as the event was at the Register Office!

Both sides of this family have Roberts in them (an extended line of mine not direct) I thought I would be away and researching great! One family of Roberts is around Llanfyllin Montgomeryshire and I have a good lineage with that and the other was supposed to be Newtown or Llanfair Caereinion Montgomeryshire.

I cannot find this man on a census prior to 1921. With family at Llanllwchaiarn, Montgomeryshire, Wales
I have 1939 register at Whitworth nr Rochdale gives birth date 7 Jan 1879
I have his wife's death and burial (widow of Samuel Jones) Jane Ann Jones nee Roberts in 1932 at Whitworth cemetery
I have his death in 1946 at Shawforth nr Rochdale - no mention in Rochdale Observer tried Whitworth cemetery, Rochdale cemetery - burials only.

The marriage was on 5 October 1925 Oswestry Richard Roberts was born 7 Jan 1879 the 1921 census has birth place as Llanfair-Coereinion. This morning I tried the GRO for two entries there isnt one in 1st Quarter 1879 around these places one to a father Robert Roberts and the other one is illegitimate. And there are so many Richard Roberts.  I tried 1881 census as he would be 2 yrs old with father Richard Roberts but I cant be certain it is the same person.

Richard Roberts born 1879 has a father Richard Roberts who was a "farm bailiff" and deceased in 1925 I tried typing "farm bailiff" in the census to see if any entries?

Are there any parish or chapel registers for 1879 available that could help to pick up his parents?
Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you again.

the 1921 census has birth place as Llanfair-Coereinion

He was b Llanfair Caereinion

He didn't marry Jane until 1925 but they are shown as married in 1921

I have 1939 register at Whitworth nr Rochdale gives birth date 7 Jan 1879

The age + months on the 1921 census do not support an 1879 birthyear - more like 1878

https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/districts/llanfyllin.html

There is no Richard Roberts birth in that RD in either the March qtr 1878 or 1879 except one in the June qtr which is a bit late if he was b 7/1.  All others have middle names
