Manchester Library - OPENSHAW St Barnabas Marriage 1920

[StephenAndrews1963]

Hi to the group, I am looking for the marriage of John Wilson to Beatrice Calvert which took place between July to September (3rd Quarter) of 1920 at St Barnabas's Church, Openshaw. I understand that the records are held at the Manchester Archives and also a copy at the Manchester Library. Can anyone help with this look-up please? Thanks in advance. Stephen Andrews

Hi Carole, many thanks but the records do not go out far enough. Regards, Stephen

Can't see anything online so you may have to buy the cert.  A tree on Ancestry has parent details for Beatrice but not for John. 

Is that what you are trying to establish?

Have you found them on the 1921 census which will give his birthplace?  If he was alive in 1939 the 1939 register will give his full birthdate

[StephenAndrews1963]

Yes, I am trying to ascertain his parentage, the birthdate ties in, his mother came from next door in Droylsden but unfortunately a couple of other records contradict each other. He served in the army but was actually born and mainly raised in Nottingham, although did briefly live in Droylsden. No worries, I'll send for the certificate. Many thanks, Stephen

The archives are at the library. You could contact there to see if there is a look up service.

Given his birthdate in 1939 he's more likely to be the June qtr 1899 birth Nottingham 7b 354 but if his parents rushed off & registered him quickly he could be the March qtr 1899 Basford

Can see your problem

The March qtr reg shows mothers maiden name Green & the June reg as Hooley
