Find Ancestors

hi who were the witnesses at Edward's marriage?

Hello Mary.
31/10/1898 District Chorlton Counties of Manchester and Lancaster.
marriage between:
Edward Molloy and Martha Annie Roberts They were married in a Registry Office is that why there is no mothers name on it. only Edward's and Martha's fathers and their occupations. Both are down as Deceased.
My father is Eric
grandfather, Ernest
ggrandfather, Edward
gggrandfather, Thomas.
I hope I haven't confused you as I seem to be getting confused as you say to many GGG'S
Thanks Shona

Hello Sam,
I have added a Topic in Trying to find under the Surname Molloy this has in it all the information that I have.
Cheers Shona.

Are we confused with too many or too few Greats???

Not sure if we are looking for G Grandfather or GG Grandfather.

If you have the marriage cert for G Grandfathers parents(as you stated) there must be the name of his mother on it.

Can you give the name of the person who married in 1898 who he married and where.

Mary

You really need to find your gg grandfather on a census with his parents before you will know where and when Thomas was born.

What was your gg grandfather name and when / where did he marry? When was he born?

I have a copy of my Great Grandfathers Birth Certificate and from that I got hold of a copy of his parents Marriage certificate. Now my problem is, it names my GGGrandfather as Thomas Molloy (deceased) bricklayer ( no mention of his Mother, as in the Scottish Marriage certificate). How do I go about finding out:
1: when and where he was born.
2: when he died. I know it was pre 1898 according to sons Marriage Cert.
3: when and who he married.
4: if there were any siblings.
It has taken me about 5 years to get this far just through searching the census and BMD indexes online. I am not in UK where I could just go and spend a day or 2 searching. I am very frustrated.
Any help at all would be very appreciated.
Thank you
