Emma - is it that there is a name missing when you click on the page number on freebmd?

e.g. marriage 1865 for Joseph Bloggs Islington 1c 245 and you click on the 245 number and it just gives you two mens names and one woman's name or just his name? Normally clicking on that page number should bring up each person married on that page of the register in that area (not necessarily on the same day in rural parishes) but normally you get two mens names and two women's names - and you can check on the following census to see which wife it was between 1841 and 1901.

Any help?

Emma

On the earlier entries there can be up to eight names on a page. Any page with an odd number either has one missing or one who shouldn't be there or two entries for the same person but with slight variations to the names (because two different people have trascribed and differ on what they see on the orignal)

hi i have tried ancestrt and free bdm but cant seem 2 fnd the name of who married who,is there a way of doing this for free?
also the marriage i am looking for is frederick warren swan born in maryport jun1883 a possible marriage is dec 1908 in tynemouth northumberland?
can any1 find out name of his wife and her possible surname?
or maybe a death for frederick warren swan which would possibly be around the tynemouth/newcastle area?
thanxemma

Hi Emma,

As you will have seen the 2 possible surnames were Henderson and Davidson.

After 1911 MMN were shown on birth registrations so if you search for births after 1911 in the name Swan, this comes up

Births Mar 1913 (>99%)


Swan Andrew H Henderson Tynemouth 10b 384

So it looks as if he married the Henderson, but of course the only way to be certain would be to buy the marriage cert.

Christine

thanx 4 ur help but he wasnt called andrew he was called frederick warren swan.
emma

What Christine is showing you is a birth for a Swan with mothers maiden name Henderson. Possibly a son of your man

Thanks for pointing that out Julie.

Hi Emma,

I'll try to explain what I meant to you.

This is Fredericks marriage

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page

Marriages Dec 1908 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DAVIDSON Annie Tynemouth 10b 311
HENDERSON Christina Heslop Tynemouth 10b 311
SWAN Frederick Warren Tynemouth 10b 311
THOMPSON Joseph Edward Tynemouth 10b 311

so he either married Annie Davidson or Christina Heslop Henderson.

I then looked for birth registrations after that date in Tynemouth and came up with the one I posted in 1913 Andrew Swan with mothers maiden name Henderson, which means he probably married Christina Heslop Henderson.

Jim also found some more births which are probably your couples children also.

emma

Emma
The records may not be complete.
Could be they had more children.
A thing I would do is go to "search trees" at top of page and try and find other members researching these names.

can any1 find me the birth of an elizabeth ann swan born 1884-1886 in silloth cumbria please?
i am going out of my my mind,cannot find it here,ancestry or free bdm,yet she is showing on the 1891 census!
any info on her is appreciated greatly.
thanx all
emma
