Find Ancestors

You say you are ordering by post - I hope that does not mean you are paying more than £9.25 which is the price on-line from the GRO site. Liverpool local office is possibly £9 (I know Lancs one is)

lt's going to be a long xmas waiting to find out wether or not it is my gt gt grandfather's marriage.
Though l think l will never know what happened to him, he just seemed to vanish.

Regards

Pam

Good spot, Ann.................

Ordering by post from Local offices costs £9.00 + postage + SAE

The GRO cost of £9.25 is therefore better value!

If Daniel abandoned Sarah, she would not have been able re-marry legally, so preumably that would be why she called herself Mosley when she 'married' Mr White

Had Daniel died, there would have been no need for her to do that..........

Just throwing this in-which you likely have:

IGI
SAMUEL THACKER
Pedigree
Male
Spouse: ELIZABETH MOSLEY
Family
Marriage:
07 JUN 1835 Saint Peter, Bolton Le Moors, Lancashire, England

thanks Flick - I'll remember that as I did not know about postage. I haven't actually used it but the Lancs cert office is only just up the road from where I live so it is possible to go in person.

Do the local offices give an actual copy with the participants own signature rather than the BT copy do you know?

I don't know that, Ann - yet. I'm about to apply by post for the first time, so I'll let you know when the cert arrives.

I usually order on line via the GRO, but I'm having problems with their site, so have decided to try the alternative source.

Nice one, Maureen

That would seem to imply that Elizabeth could have been unmarried when Sarah was born, and that 'Samuel 'Mosely' was actually just 'Samuel'

If Sarah was asked for her father's name she may well just have said 'Samuel', leaving the registrar/vicar to draw his own conclusions about the surname...............

Thanks lancashire Ann

Sorry l didn't get back on yesterday but my family came to visit

l will keep my fingers crossed then that the marriage is theirs.
l never use the g.r.o l always use the local register office for certs.
Liverpool is only 10 miles or so away from me. l can only get there sometimes as l'm severley disabled.

Both Daniel and Sarah were living at the same address when they registered the birth of their son Daniel.
He was born August 6th 1851

Thanks for all the help and interest in my post and merry christmas.

Pam

Wow Maureen l didn't have the marriage for Elizabeth and Samuel
Thanks so much, now the fog seems to be clearing lol

lt is possible then that the Sarah who married my gt gt grandfather Daniel Logan senior and the Sarah who married William White are one and the same.

l have another family in my tree on my mothers side where the enumerator has listed the sons of the mother and step sons of her husband as son in laws. that is why l kept an open mind on the fact Daniel was listed as a lodger/visitor and not step son to William.

l can't wait til l get the cert now. l think l will send for Sarah and William's too.

Thank you all very much

Kind regards

Pam

l missed the part of explaining Sarah's circumstances at remarrying to William White.
lt makes sense to me

Daniel's parents were catholics from Ireland. His mother had died and his father was still living in Liverpool at this time.
l wonder if Daniel had gone off to relatives in Ireland as no one had been able to find him anywhere else.

Thanks again everyone. l can't express how much this means to finally get somewhere with this.

Best wishes

Pam
