Find Ancestors

Aha - not sure if this helps but I've jus searched the index by taking out the quarter and just leaving the vol, page number, year and district - here's what comes up:

Margaret Dolan 1887 Oct-Nov-Dec Liverpool (1837-1934) Lancashire
William James Doran 1887 Oct-Nov-Dec Liverpool (1837-1934) Lancashire
Agnes Dunn 1887 Oct-Nov-Dec Liverpool (1837-1934) Lancashire
James Wood 1887 Apr-May-Jun Liverpool (1837-1934) Lancashire
William Wood 1887 Oct-Nov-Dec Liverpool (1837-1934) Lancashire

So, it looks like everyone else with that volume and page number for that year and district were married in the Dec qtr. Strange that there is a William Wood noted.

As there are already 2 male 2 females entered on that page, it doesn't help as I was expecting to find an extra female.

I'm not sure what to make of this really ... anyone else any ideas?

Thanks Anita - I can't get on ancestry this morning - don't understand why....
It's frustrating having half a record!

Thanks Athens
I have got a birth certificate for the 2nd son - she is Mary Davies and he James Wood - its just that he is not on the census for any year and she is described as living "by own means" - I want to track back beyond James but at the moment can't find the right record for him - if this is right(the marriage entry) it may be worth getting the certificate?
Thanks again

There seems to be a problem with that entry on freebmd - no other names are coming up with that page number, which is correct according to the image.

Well, usually on Ancestry transcribed BMDs, when you find a marriage entry, you can click on the page number to view all others that were entered on the same page - but for some reason there are none others showing up. This would suggest that his spouse has been mistranscribed on Ancestry and has been put on either in the wrong quarter or page number.

I have had this happen on my tree with a marriage where the bride and groom ended up entered into different quarters.

Unless you have an idea of what her surname might have been there's no way of finding her - unless someone else can think of a way.

Even if you traced him on the 1891 census with his wife, that would only give you her first name.

Buying a birth cert of any of their children would also give you her maiden name - but if you're going to order a cert you might just as well buy the marriage cert.

On FreeBMD if you click on the page number it should come up with the list of people marrying on that page - which hopefully would include the spouse. (FreeBMD is not 100% complete yet but 1887 probably is as most of the years before 1901 seem to be complete.)

Please can anyone help?
