How do you get a Marriage Certificate if the marriage is before 1837 and noton BMD indexs, i have dates of some but dont know how to get them.

Nickydownsouth Report 22 May 2011 18:53

There were no certificates as such before 1837.....what you can see though is the Parish record of the event. Sometimes on microficehe or film via a local records office or the LDS, or some areas are available on line..Ancestry has a lot of london and liverpool parishes available for example..

Many people on here have accesss to various parish records ...

would you like to put up some details and see if anyone can help you?..

Do you have Robert after his baptism??

Childrens names?

If his bride was from another parish he probably would have married in her Parish.

I can see marriages for his brother and sister Isaac and Lydia ...do you already have these??

Elizabeth Fuller was married to another Isaac Tolhurst in my tree he was born 1787 so its not her

Nickydownsouth

Seems there is another Robert Tolhurst born not far away form Headcorn in the same year.. This is probably the one i have posted the census entries for and the marriage to Elizabeth Cook.....wonder if the person with the GR tree has mistaken them for your Robert also born 1877 but in Headcorn not Biddenden???

Michele


you can also try looking on

www.familyseach.org/

the forward slash is very important!!



they have lots of records from parish registers


OR look at the following site to see if there are any Online Parish Clerk Registers for your areas

www.onlineparishclerks.org.uk/



both are free sites, so you can look up names for yourself


or GOOGLE


it's amazing what you might find by using a search engine!
