Find Ancestors

Could someone advise me re finding out the spouse of a marriage? On free bmd Marriages Sep 1837 is : Jane Lane Greenwich Vol 5 Page 211 but the name that I was hoping for doesnt come up. There are 4 women listed but only 3 men. Is there any way of finding the fourth name other than ordering the marriage cert which Im loath to do in case it is the wrong one, also the delay living out in NZ as I do. Any suggestions would be welcome. Many thanks Robyn NZ

Might seem a daft question, but have you tried putting the name you expect in the new marriage index, available on Ancestry? It might give you the same quarter, volume number, with the page number unclear? (sorry if this seems bit garbled, it's early and I haven't had my cup of tea yet!)

Robyn, I also had this problem as my relative was the only one on the page, but some-one kindly looked it up for me on family relatives site. It is pay as you go. Regards Sara

who was it that you were expecting?

Hi to everyone again Sorry didnt get back to you but when i went back on to check before bed it was down. The name I was looking for was George Wickman. They had a daughter in July 1838 I think in Reigate but dont have any records yet. Jane Lane is a mystery in herself as she had a son in 1827 called James so presume she was married before or not !

You can search BIRTHS DEATHS and MARRIAGES 1837 - 1983 for FREE at Ancestry – even if you aren’t a subscriber. Go to this website: http://www.ancestry(.)co.uk/search/default.aspx Copy and paste address into the address bar of your web browser -REMOVE BRACKETS from web address. Look for Births Marriages and Deaths - - England & Wales, BMD Index (Beta) Choose Birth Death or Marriage Put in the person's name and likely year of birth, death or marriage. The results show the four quarters and the surname at the BEGINNING of the page and surname at the END of the page, so from this you can estimate if your person's surname is likely to appear on this page. If so, you just click on the image viewing page icon which has a little blue magnifying glass on a sheet of text (at the end of each search result). You will then be taken to the page and you will see surnames in alphabetical order. Look for your person. There are plenty of navigation tools to take you forward or back if you are just a page out. Back and Forward Arrows plus magnification. You can also save the image to your PC if you wish to do so. At the very top of the image viewing screen, you will see something like this: You are here: Search England & Wales, Birth Index: 1837-1983 (Beta) 1952 Jan-Feb-Mar K You can click into the part that says Jan-Feb-March (on the screen in question) and search through the whole of the K's for January February March if your page seems to be missing. Hope this helps. Cheers, Horatia PS Now people can search for themselves for free it is a great bonus!

There is no George Wickman in that quarter and year on Ancestry new search facility. Suzanne

I've checked the records on Ancestry.....no George Wickman recorded as having married in JAS 1837 Reg

Hi Horatio i already tried that but hes not there, do you know if these records on 1837, bmd and ancestry are all the same transcriptions ? Robyn

Do you have any trace of Jane and George together on a census? Reg

Images on Ancestry replicate those on 1837online Reg

There's two on familysearch, St Nicolas Deptford came under greenwich. Pop over to familysearch website and have a look, JANE LANE Female Family Event(s): : Marriages: Spouse: DANIEL SHEPHERD Family Marriage: 09 JUL 1837 Saint Nicholas, Deptford, London

No I dont have any census detalis I have asked for help on those but nothing could be found in Reigate in 1841 or 1851. Any suggestions? I know for a fact that they were Hannah Wickman's parents and presume they were married. She had a brother Joseph born in Reigate circa 1846. Robyn

I looked up Daniel on freebmd, same page and volume I think as what you found: Marriages Sep 1837 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EVANS Jane Greenwich 5 211 KING Ann Greenwich 5 211 LANE Jane Greenwich 5 211 MILLER William Greenwich 5 211 SHEPHERD Daniel Greenwich 5 211 WATERS Mary Ann Greenwich 5 211 WRIXON John Greenwich 5 211 What do you think of the family search entry at St Nicolas?

Hi I have looked up some notes from my aunt and they say Hannah Wickman's birth certificate reads 16th July 1838 Reigate Borough, County of Surrey to Jane Wickamn formerly Lane and George Wickman a baker. Any help would be most appreciated , do you think I am looking at the wrong entry. I see on the IGI that a member of the church has out in these dates and people not sure where they got their info from. Robyn

1851 census...some connection, maybe George Wickman abt 1830 Reigate, Surrey, England Son Reigate Kent View Record Hannah Wickman abt 1839 Reigate, Surrey, England Daughter Reigate Kent View Record Harriott Wickman abt 1842 Reigate, Surrey, England Daughter Reigate Kent View Record Harry Wickman abt 1840 Reigate, Surrey, England Son Reigate Kent View Record Joseph Wickman abt 1847 Reigate, Surrey, England Son Reigate Kent View Record Mary Wickman abt 1804 Worcestershire, England Head Reigate Kent View Record Thomas Wickman abt 1837 Reigate, Surrey, England Son Reigate Kent View Record William Wickman abt 1845 Reigate, Surrey, England Son Reigate Kent Mary is a widow..........occupation: Baker Address: High Street Reg
