  • Marriage lookup please


    They're on 1841 census, she wasn't born in Derbyshire .. I've found a possible birth for Edith in Staffordshire but unable at this stage to confirm it.

    Thanks

        Thanks Elaine - you are wonderful!

        We looked at FreeBMD and Family Search but didn't find either ... what's your technique?

          On the FamilySearch Record site I just started off at the main page - http://search.labs.familysearch.org/...art.html#start
          Entered Edmund Sharpe - marriage - England ... and then hit the search button!
          This bought up three pages of results - and I could see Edith Bourne easily on the first page.

          If she wasn't so obvious I would have then refined the results by using the marriage date option, probably selecting 1830-1839 and 1840-1849 - which would have reduced it to just 6 entries.

          You can also use the Refine search option (top right of screen) where you can add the name of the bride - again useful if you are getting too many results with fairly common names.


          FreeBMD has him as Edward rather than Edmund - but I found that entry using Edith Bourne, rather than Edmund Sharpe.

              That page is for the IGI.
              The Record Search site is different - it is their new repository for parish records and being updated all the time so keep an eye on it.

              Worth looking at their record collections - http://search.labs.familysearch.org/...rt.html#p=home
              - then click on Search or Browse our record collections - then select the area of the world you are interested in.

              You can search using a specific database, or do a general search from the home page as I did with your request.
