I have looked and looked, for the marriage of Jane Firkins to George Henry White. It took place in Birmingham around 1860. I have checked free bmd and ancestry, where else can I look

It mat unfortunately be one of the many marriages that did not make it to the GRO. Familysearch does not throw up any clues either. Is this them on the 1861 census?

Lynda, a tip - don't ask for stuff based on what people tell you unless you have no other options. If it is unavoidable please say how you came by information when you post query. Saves a lot of fruitless searching!

Hi Linda
I have had the same problem finding the marriage of my fathers mothers first marriage when she married my grand father in 1918 she was a widow
On the 1911 census she is down with her first husband and they were down as being married one year but still cant find their marriage any where its so frustrating when you know the names of both partners but still cant find their marriage record

I looked on other sites for you (not supposed to mention them) and haven't found anything to help. I'm sure you will get there.

Incidentally, don't worry about the remarks made by some people. They don't mean to be scathing, they are often very experienced researchers and can't perhaps understand how ordinary mortals struggle.

Love

Sorry for late reply, had to go tot work. Many thanks for the replies, and the idea that Jane my have been a widow when she married George, why did'nt I think of that? Will carry on the search when I have their sons birth cert. Again thanks
