When I put in Thomas A E RUSH 1891 Northampton on FreeBMD I get no matching bride. I only get some other names from another district. I thought these marriage indexes were complete. Am I stuck here?

If I can't find the bride's surname (she was Elizabeth) from the index I will search the parish registers of Northampton but I was hoping to find her maiden name today! Impatient as usual.

Thank you very much June and Glitter Baby

So Elizabeth was a Jackson? Oh, dear. Now I have no idea who she is.

She wrote a Christmas card to my grandmother in 1919 and signed it 'your affectionate Aunt Lizzie'!

Many thanks again

I can't believe this! I'm all of a dither.

Elizabeth JACKSON is my Great Great Aunt on my father's side of the family.

Yet she wrote to my maternal grandmother in 1919 as her 'Aunt Lizzie'!!

It would seem that I am related to her twice, though I still can't work out how the JACKSON's are related to my maternal granparents.

I can't wait to get the marriage certificate now.

I suppose I should now by now that family history is full of surprises!
EDIT: I'm beginning to think that she was a friend of the family who called herself aunt.
