I know this is probably a very stupid Q, but is it correct tha the bride's name should be Hams and not Harris??Comment

Hi thanks for message. Brotherton is the name on the cert for Sarah Brotherton 08.1838 I have looked at alot of other ways spellings but no luck. Mothers name was formerly Mary HAMS. and she was born Shropshire, 1806c. I am thinking could she have been married before but have had no findings as yet. What do you think? jEANjean charltonComment

hI. Thanks for message. I have tried other surnames liking to Brotherton.but no luck. Sarah Brotherton born 08 1838 Shifnal Shropshire. her mother is or was Mary formerly HAMS. I have other relatives to this family with the name Hams. I am thinking now that Mary Hams could have been married before, but have not found any trace as yet. Do you think this could be so?

Butthere's still a point in Merry's message. The name may be HAMS - but it's very vulnerable to being transcribed as HARRIS.Originally posted by jean charlton View Post
Worth having a look out on that basis?
As a parallel example, the old script L and S looked very similar. I have a SANSBURY transcribed on the IGI as LANSBURY.

Hi Jean,
I have just been looking at this and checking a few census records.
Are you looking for the marriage between Stephen and Mary Brotherton that are living in Shaw Lane Shifnal in 1851. They are there with their children Sarah 12, Emma 10 and Jane 9?

Thanks Christine!Originally posted by Christine in Herts View Post
The only reason I mentioned it was there was a Harris living with them in 1841 who was about the right age to be father of the bride.....so a very long shot. Having spent a whole TEN years reading Daniel as David on a marriage cert I just thought I'd better check!! lololComment

I noticed that too Merry, but was not sure if I was following the right family.
Jean's first post is asking for help to find a marriage between a Stephen Brotherton and Sarah Hams
Jean, If this is the right family, you may try looking at the parish records for either Stretton or Bridgnorth.
In 1851, Mary's place of birth is given as Stretton and in 1871 it is Bridgnorth. She may have married in her birth parish. Worth a try??
