Hi,
Would someone please have a look for the marriage of
Mary Ann Hunt and Thomas Emmerson Chandler

I can only find the BMD for it on Ancestry.I haven't been able to find it on Marriages and banns

I think I've been searching correctly

It's very annoying,I have found her sisters with my couple as the witness's!

Any way the marriage I'm after is

Mary Ann Hunt
Year of Registration: 1857
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Strand (1837-1913)
County: London, Middlesex
Volume: 1b


Name: Thomas -Min----- Chandler
Year of Registration: 1857
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Strand (1837-1913)
County: London, Middlesex
Volume: 1b

Thanks

Blue

Hi,
yes this is the BMD entry for them.It's the London England marriages and banns I'm hoping to find,so as to save buying another cert.

Thanks

They weren't RC so I can't understand why I can't find them in marriages and banns.

Before 1898, all non-conformist marrs (not just RC) were recorded in the registrar's register, as well as register office marrs. Maybe that's why you've not found it.

I think the reason you're not finding the marriage is that only the records from the LMA were "done" by Ancestry. As the marriage was in Strand (Westminster) the records will be at the Westminster Archives.

Hope that made sense!!
