George Garside and Hannah Asquith Marriage
« on: Sunday 18 January 26 10:25 GMT (UK) »
I’m trying to locate the marriage record for George Garside and Hannah Asquith, said to have taken place on 3 January 1857 at the Red Chapel, Cleckheaton. I can’t find it indexed on FreeBMD and suspect it may be a non-conformist chapel marriage.
George appears unmarried with parents Samuel & Maria Garside in the 1851 census (North Bierley), and by 1871 he is living in Clifton with wife Hannah and children including Joseph (b.1862 Edge Nook) and stepson Samuel Asquith.
I’d be very grateful if anyone has access to Red Chapel registers or local transcripts that might confirm the entry or provide father/witness details.

It is possible that George's name has not been included in the GRO listings.  The original documents for March quarter 1857, available to view via FreeBMD, Ancestry and FindMyPast, show that they are hand-written lists, rather than the printed pages.  For some reason there are no listings for December quarter 1856 - surname Garside.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

They had a daughter Sarah Ann 1858 who died 1858.

If they followed naming patterns  Sarah/Sarah Ann could be Hannah's mothers name

The newspaper article simple states On Christmas Day at Red Chapel, Cleckheaton, by Revd. Robert Cuthbertson. Mr. George Garside to Miss Hannah Asquith of Low Moor.

Thank you so much it’s proving a challenge this I am just trying to confirm whether the lineage I currently have is accurate. Everything seemingly fits but I’ve had an issue before where I went down a false trail.

I know I have Joseph born 1862 in the Bradford area and his father is definitely George. The rest is not certified yet but I think George married Hannah Asquith and I am trying to see whether his parents are Maria and Samuel. It all seems to fit but I’ve been down blind alleys before.

However, thank you for your help. It is much appreciated.
