Find Ancestors

i would like to say sorry andrew
on rechecking you were correct
thank you for the info

ok thank you for all your assistance

You're right, June, certificates started in 1837, but, as Reg says, it wasn't compulsary until 1875 so a lot of people just didn't bother.

On Free BMD, Mary Hooton and William Bowes Smith married Dec. quarter 1899, Stockton. (Vol 10a Page 119)

Go to general register Office here:

and follow the instructions. You have the volume and page numbers so never pay more than $7.00 (that should be pounds, of course, I'm in Canada)

margaret
so i WILL be able to get her marriage cert then
could you let me know the reg details of this for that purpose

reg
i was under the impression that bmd certs started in
1837 is this wrong then

You may not be able to get a birth cert....registration was not compulsory until 1875

Reg

I thought I just proved, without a doubt, that she married William B. Smith in Stockton on Tees in 1899.

You seem to be working from the 'wrong end' on this.

You must start with something which you know is 100% accurate.....then work backwards from that.

Starting from 1839, and trying to tie in a 1901 marriage will cause you untold confusion.

Can you say exactly who you are trying to trace................the name and birth year of someone you KNOW to be right is where you have start

Reg

The only way to find out is to order the marriage cert, and quote the father's name as a checking point.

The mother's name does not appear on the marriage records.

Reg
