Marriage in London 1880

[ozgirl]

Anna Maria Sophia van Aalst married Count Hendrik Otto van Limburg-Stirum on 26 May 1880 in London, England. According to the BMD registers it was in the Strand. Is there any entry on the London Registers for this - I would be interested to see the brides entry as she had been married before, so want to know if she was a widow or divorced. (She was Dutch, and it was quite common for them to divorce)

sorry not found it on there, what was her previous surname ?

Found this record in The Hague, Netherlands, Marriage Index, 1811-1931
Hendrik Otto Limburg Stirum
Spouse: Frederika Henriette Nobel
Children: Johan Paul Limburg Stirum

The link on that doesn't work so can't see any further details but looks like he was married before.

the marriage you want isn't showing on fmp, it's possible it was a register office marriage.

On FreeBMD the bride is indexed under 2 names - van Aalst & also Smeding. http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search...80&action=Find .................................... Jay

Hi thanks for all that - yes she was previously married to Willem Tobias Smeding, but I hadn't found that child before, thank you for that. It looks like they were both divorced, so presumably would not have been able to have a church wedding.

Thanks again - I was going cross-eyed last night trying to sort them out. The name van Aalst is quite common - I have a couple of hundred in my tree already, and they do like to use the same christian names!

if you google, 'count of limburg stirum' wikipedia has a nice article explaining them. didn't mention your rellies husband though.
