I have in my tree a marriage between John Paley and Mary Shutt which I have been reliably informed took place in Ripon, Yorkshire in 1831. Looking at Ancestry today (I no longer have subs.) I noticed a marriage between a couple of the same name marrying at about the same date but in Middlesex. Is anyone able to look at the entry to see what details it gives please?

Hi Julie,
No he was a shoemaker. I'm afraid the name Bell means nothing to me. It looks like it's just a coincidence that another couple with the same" Yorkshire" surnames should marry at about the same time.
Many thanks.
PS just had a quick look on Freebmd there are a couple of births for Paley in the Middlesex area 1838/42 but most are Yorks/Lancs including my rellie. Looks like it was just a coincidence.Last edited by Cath RJ; 18-09-11, 15:01.Cath.

One of these marriages was two days prior to the Paley/Shutt marriage Julie was looking at - and if you flick forward through the pages Henry's name pops up again from time to time.Elaine

Thanks everyone. I think between you you have convinced me that the Middlesex couple aren't my family. I've just re read notes sent to me a few years ago by a self styled "Paley expert" in Australia which says John and Mary were married in Ripon in June 1831.(She appears to have got most of her info from parish records pre computer days!) It was just when I saw the other marriage on the Ancestry index that I began to doubt myself. My "lot" are deff. the Knaresborouggh/Harrogate family.
Thanks again.Cath.

noo Cath, the fact is they could be your family the Ripon marriage is only a submitted entry on the LDS, which must be treated with caution, I would begin by looking for this Ripon marriage, if you use familysearch (new site) they have the marriage for John/Mary in london. If anyone can get access to the Banns book for this london marriage it should say where they came from.Julie
