I have just got a copy of a marriage certificate, but things aren't adding up! Can anyone help. My records are of Harold E Brier marrying Ellen Teasdale in 1937 he was aged 33 - father was John Brier The certificate i have got is for Harol brier marrying Emily teasdale in 1937, aged 22! And his father Henry Brier as Wine tempener(what ever that is) Can anyone help as i have to money for credits to view any record at the moment, and i'm confused. Did i get the wrong certificate or is there a family mystery about to pop out of the woodwork at me? Any help would be good Hannah |

Where are your 'records' with the marriage that doesn't connect with the cert you have, from? nell |

This looks like birth ref for Harold E, who would be 33 in 1937: Harold Edmund Brier 1904 Apr-May-Jun Wakefield Volume: 9c Page: 25 |

Where did your marriages take place? have you tried finding both fathers on 1901 index? Is it possible these two men are connected in some way and have married sisters/aunt and niece? nell |

The information is from my granfather (it was his father) Harolds birth certificate and 1st marriage certificate. Ellen was his housekeeper |

Sorry to be dense. What actual recorded info do you have (ie NOT what your grandfather told you) but whose birth cert says what and which marriage cert says what? nell |

But he was 23 in 1927 so he can't be 22 in 1937 |

It's really strange. |

Are you sure the age says 22, because 33 could look like 22. You have either got the wrong certificate or your grandfather might have been wrong about his facts. Leanne. |

No it's 22 in 1937, plus I can't find another record of a Brier marrying a Teasdale. I think he must of lied on the certificate. |

Could it be that his second wife Ellen Teasdale was previously married so could be listed on the GRO index under her married name not her maiden name? |

I believe so, and she had children from her first marriage. I think. |

Do you know if Teasdale was her married or maiden name? |
