I was showing a colleague today, how easy it was to find information on people on the web, if you know where to look.
I got her interest when she spotted that her paternal grandparents had actually married, something she didn't think had happened (her scream of delight was something to behold, my ears still haven't recovered!), and she gave me permission to delve further into her family.
So, I'm someone who has taken most of my family back to the 18th century and not had an ancestor from outside of England yet.
I have only gone back 3 generations with hers and found a Scottish Gr-grandmother with an Irish father!
Now my question - the Irish father married in what appears to be the bride's home, 'after Publications according to forms of the United Presbyterian Church'. Does anyone know if this was common, to be married at a house instead of a PoW?
Thanks
