Some of you may remember I was looking for a marriage between William Mountain and a Caroline ?. Well I ordered one of their childrens birth certificates which arrived today. It states mothers maiden name was SMITH! So, please could you assist me in finding their marriage. I have had a look and no luck. WILLIAM MOUNTAIN & CAROLINE SMITH - married possibly before 1849 (as their first child was born 1849). William was definately from Bradford and Caroline was possibly from Leeds (the census' state different everytime). All of their children were born in bradford Thank you

FreeBMD have the following entry: Surname First name(s) District Vol Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages Dec 1844 (48%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lupton Elizabeth Bradford Y 23 269 >>SMITH Caroline Bradford (Y) 23 269 WARTON Martha Bradford 23 269 Currently only 48% of the records are transcribed so a quick look at the images for that quarter reveals: MOUNTAIN William with the same reference details Hope that helps Pete PS. If you haven't found them in the 1851 census you'll have fun searching. Ancestry have the family as follows: Household Members: Name Age Alfred Monaton 8 Mo Caroline Monaton 27 Thomas H Monaton 4 William Mowaton 27 Enoch Smith 25 Sarah Smith 20 Note the SMITH lodgers, Caroline's brother perhaps?
