A marriage on Ancestry question

[KiteRunner]

Yes, I was just going to say the same, Vikki (I did manage to look on ancestry after all)

Anyway, there is a possible John Grant / Mary Pilling marriage in Liverpool Jun 1841. Seems a bit unlikely, though... Off to investigate....

[KiteRunner]

No, forget that one - that John Grant married a Mary Enright / Glover (Lancashire BMD says so)

I see both Mary and John were born in Ireland, Is it possible that they married before coming to Liverpool?

The mar Qtr 1849 has a Mary Brownbill marriage with possible spouse Thomas Grant. 20/207

Might they have married in Ireland? (or have you found her here, I mean UK!, and single previous to this?)

Its possible the marriage took place in Ireland, i will go and look through the church records in Liverpool first and see, if i cant find any maybe it was in Ireland, its the different spellings of the name that gets me.

Thanks a lot everyone

Maureen, I should think you would be best to look for John Grant as there will not be variant spellings of his surname (well, I don't think so!)

Hi, I've looked through every John Grant Marriage from 1837 to 1861 cant find any that comes close to her surname,

Did one of Mary's sisters marry Daniel Tracy?

Did one of Mary's sisters marry Daniel Tracy?

Not on the marriage certificates i've got, dont know an awful lot about this family, thats why i want to get all the certs so i can be sure

Just that there's an Esther Brohill on the 1851 b Ireland and I wondered if the lodger's wife was one of her dau's! Esther is too old really, but it's an unusual name and lots of people were pretty vague about thie ages in those days!

I couldn't see John and Mary Grant the right age on that census.

Esther is in her 60s in 1851/61 and she is aged 66 on her death in 1865

My g-g-grandmothers name was Rosanna, she had a sister Margaret, and on Margarets marriage cert there was an Ann Brohill as witness.

Their fathers name was Andrew

Oh and the address Esther is at on the 1851 census is also the marriage address for my Rosanna and her sister

Have you got the 1851 ref?
