Can anyone please help with some details of the marriage between George Alexander McGeagh and Mary Ellen Lloyd possible time scale 1882 -1900 thats as near as can get i really could do with finding the name of the father of Mary Ellen Lloyd I hope somebody can help Ray

Would this be the birth of their son? :- Name: George Alexander McGeagh Year of Registration: 1908 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Liverpool (1837-1924) County: Lancashire Volume: 8b Page: 9 Kath. x

Hi Raymond, There may be a few variant spellings of McGeagh, and there are loads of Mary Ellen Lloyds, so it might help if we can find them on the 1891 census and see if they were already married by then or not. Do you have the details from the 1901 census that could help to find them in 1891? And do you have dates when any of their children were born? Also, because there are so many Mary Ellen Lloyds, it would help to know what part of the country they are likely to have got married in. Kate.

Actually, I have found a possible marriage reference on FreeBMD: Marriages Jun 1882 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOULKES Ann Liverpool 8b 144 JOYNSON James Liverpool 8b 144 Lloyd Ellen Liverpool 8b 144 MCGEATH George Alexander Liverpool 8b 144 MCGRATH George Alexander Liverpool 8b 144 O'NEILL John Liverpool 8b 144 and this is the matching entry from Lancashire BMD: Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1882 Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference LLOYD Ellen MCGRATH George A Liverpool, Our Lady & St. Nicholas & St. Anne Liverpool 2053LP/69/277 If you think this is their marriage, then you can order the marriage certificate either through the GRO, or from Lancashire BMD at www.lancashirebmd.org.uk Or if you are near the record office that would have the parish registers for that church, you could go and look it up there (according to Lancashire BMD it is or was a C of E church).
