Trying to find when ROBERT DENTON CURRY married LUCY EMMA MESHER. I think it was between 1862 and 1867 as they appeared in Ryde I.O.W. IN 1867.

Lucy lived in Marylebone before marriage, and Robert in Pancras.
Can't find them on free bmd. Can anyone help me please.
Regards, Anne

Anne, can't see it at all. Maybe never married? Possible Lucy might have married before, though can't see a Robert Curry married to a Lucy anybody!
EDIT obviously the correct maiden name for Lucy:
Births Dec 1843
MESHER Lucy Emma Marylebone 1 177
Can't see a lucy mesher marriage.

Yes this is the right family. Your'e probably right about them not marrying then. Thanks everyone for your help.

There are these Curry births with mother's maiden name Mesher on Isle of Wight records:

CURRY, Agnes, May 1882 MESHER Ryde R50/E467

Thanks Margaret,
I have these on my tree.

I was stuck going back to Lucy and Robert's marriage. They were my Great Grandparents. The Currys and Meshers are proving a headache!

Still at least it makes the hunt for information more interesting.
Regards, Anne

Have you found Robert on a census before 1871 ? Maybe he was already married when he met Lucy Emma.

St Pancras 1861 census
Robert Denton 60 model boat maker
ROBERT DENTON son 22 modelboatmaker b Mintlyn
MARY ANN DENTON 35 daughter. servant b Mintlyn

On this census they don't call themselves Curry.

ROBERT DENTON CURRY b 1838 in Mintlyn. Norfolk. I have his birth certificate.
Father, ROBERT CURRY
Mother, MARY DENTON

On 1841 census :
ROBERT CURRY farmer age40, MARY DENTON age35, MARY ANN DENTON,15. ELEANOR DENTON 14, ROBERT DENTON3. This was in Mintlyn.

IN 1851 in pancras he becomes Robert Denton 51 sailor
Mary Denton 41 Laundress
Robert son 12.
So you see it's a right muddle.
In 1863 ROBERT DENTON CURRY age63 died in Pancras.

So, are you saying this is Robert's first wife? Would assume he was still married then, and never married Lucy.
Jan

I would say it was Mary Denton living with Robert Curry (born about 1801)
and as they were not married Robert Junior surname Denton, which is how he became Denton Curry.

Yes Pam
You are correct. ROBERT junior was too young to have been marrried before he met LUCY EMMA MESHER. I think MARY DENTON (his mother)died in 1857 in Pancras as she was not on the 1861 census. Her daughter MARY ANN DENTON moved to the i.o.w. and never married but on her death certificate in 1909 she was MARY ANN CURRY

I have looked for marriages for both Roberts but have found nothing.

Wish you had put that info on your first posting and then we would have known who we were looking for instead of spending hours looking for the wrong people!

I'm sorry Mel,
I'm new to this and hesitated asking for help in the first place. All I asked for was help in finding the marriage of ROBERT DENTON CURRY and LUCY EMMA MESHER.Thanks for all your help from a stupid 68 year old woman.

Anne ask as many questions as you like we are here to help if we can. We just need to know everything that you know to stop us looking for people that are not on the census.

From Mel 60 year old woman!! Hee hee

Don't hesitate...............................he who hesitates is lost!!!!!
