(tip)Never pay more than £7
(another tip) for a marriage,you only need
put one partners name when ordering.

Here's one I cant seem to find in 1851 census.....

Looking for Robert FUGE born 1822 in (it is said )Plymouth ,Devon. He married Elizabeth TAYLOR (daughter of George [occ Sawyer] & Elizabeth) on 29 Dec 1851 at East Stonehouse,Devon. They came to Australia in 1853.
Robert's parents were John (occ Cabinet Maker) & mother maybe Sarah/Sally nee LUXMOORE- maybe only earlier childrens mother.
Robert was found in 1841 aged 15 at Ersworthy,Sheepstor,Devon -not with parents. John & Sarah married in 1806 in St Anne's,Soho,London.
Robert's sister Sarah Fuge married Thomas Slocombe in 1837 at East Stonehouse (she was born c 1819-1821 in Plymouth,Devon- according to various census)

Need to go out now
Thanks

Unfortunately, we are unable to display the accompanying images of this census at present, despite extensive negotiation with the General Register Office for Scotland. Permission from them has not, as yet, been forthcoming.

Hi Gerri

I've been searching for ages for a marriage for Enoch Brown Fish who was born September 1899 in Barrow in Furness, and died in WW2 in 1942.
On the CWGC list, he is the husband of Emma.
I cannot find this marriage anywhere.

Can you help?

Many thanks in anticipation.
