My great great grandfather Joseph Hoyland divorced his wife in 1880. I have all the records for this mess!
In 1891 Joseph has a new wife Maria. I have searched for years and sent for several wrong certificates for this marriage and for a long time now I have assumed Joseph and Maria did not actually marry.
I had another search today just looking for any Joseph to any Maria. And I FOUND it in 1886 ... transcribed on FMP with enough details so I know it is the right one. I have ordered the certificate straight away. Sooooo pleased!!!!
Why was I stupid? Joseph's surname has been given as HAYLAND instead of HOYLAND. I know full well this is a common error so why didn't I check that. AAAARGH!
