RE
"John Cooper=Elizabeth Wilson (1875 Kingston).
Obviously the year has to match but should the Vol and the Page also match plea"

Basically everything has to match - e.g.,

Marriages Mar 1875 (>99%)
COOPER John Kingston 2a 404

says John's m.cert can be found on p404 in vol 2a of the 1875q1 set.

If he wed Elizabeth Wilson, then she must appear on the same entry as John, and we know his cert is on p404 in vol 2a of the 1875q1 set.
.
However, this is not necessarily sufficient to say they wed, since there are two entries on that page (4 entries pre-1852), and we actually need them on the same entry, not merely the same page,

On the FreeBMD hit I posted above, I can click on the page number to see all the names on a page (this works for Bs and Ds too), so here I get:

Marriages Mar 1875 (>99%)
COOPER John Kingston 2a 404
Foquett Emily Owen Kingston 2a 404
SUTTON Martin John Kingston 2a 404
White Kate Kingston 2a 404

and there's nothing here to say who wed whom.

Bit odd also!, when Charles Married Lottie 1908, his Father, John Cooper occ. Gardener...


But when Charlotte Eliza Cooper Marries William Godfrey 1904 Lambeth, and Susannah Julia Cooper Marries Charles Grimwood 1891 Lambeth, both say Father, John Cooper occ. Painter (Deceased)...

There is a John Cooper Death 1887 (37) if him...

(something just not adding up, methinks, lol)

Not sure what site you're using? but the above marriages are from freebmd.org.uk, very simple to use, and free :-)

Most of the entries will show a number of marriages on the same vol and page, maybe two or three couples, working out who is whose spouse is sometimes down to looking at the next census, or the birth of children.

Salutations and thanks for your reply Nyx!

Not sure I know where you are getting those from at all?

I can find John Cooper Kingston Surrey 1875 Vol 2a pg 404 line 321 I sent away for his marriage to Charlotte Wilson Vol 2a Pg 404 but got refunded.

Why does all the names you ref above have the same ref numbers Im confused?

Should the ref number re Vol and Page be identical for the Bride as the groom when we look up each seperately please?

Many thanks WD.
