Hi Patchem
Hadn't considered Scottish marriage for Mary Ann so will look in to that.....Charles and Eliza just seemed to marry in Scotland and then came back to England where all their children were born.....don't suppose we'll ever know why they married in Scotland....
Thanks
Michelle

Eliza Carrington married Charles Dunn in Scotland.
If Mary Ann also married in Scotland she is not going to show up on free bmd.
Have you looked for Scottish marriages?

***

Don't know if this is at all relevant but when Eliza Carrington (Mary Ann's elder sister) married Charles Dunn in 1876 their mother Ann, was listed as Mary Ann Southers (decd) she died in 1860. Michael Carrington died in 1876.

Hi Joseph,
Not sure this is the same one......Mary Ann was born in Amble, and she did have a brother, Michael but he was born c 1858.
Thanks, Michelle

Hi Patchem
Sorry I'm being so dull......yes you're right she is unmarried in 1871. I have a photocopy of that Census too, cant believe I missed that vital fact.
Sorry to waste your time....sometimes its right in front of you and you still miss it!!

Hi Dea
My Great Grandma, Eliza Carrington b1851 married Charles Dunn b1849 in 1876 in Scotland. Mary Ann & Eliza were sisters and my whole purpose to this particular search of Mary Ann Carrington is to try and identity any relatives so that I can try and trace my GG Grandfather Michael Carrington who was born in Roscommon Ireland c 1820. I have recently put adverts in 3 Roscommon Newspapers and also written to 'Carringtons' residing in Ireland.
As you probably know, records in Ireland are very sparse and I have hit many brick walls in my search for any Carringtons!!
I am happy they belong to me and have contact with two descendants of Catherine Carrington but they have less information than me!!
Regards
Michelle

So she is unmarried in 1871.

Michelle - I am not objecting to the work or time involved in following this for you, I just thought you wanted to be as sure as possible before spending money on a cert (quite understandable) !

I wanted to know which direction you were coming from with the actual info you have?

You seem to be researching the surname Dunn, so are you tracing back from the marriage you have mentioned, or, have you found a proved connection to the birth of Mary Ann in 1853 and are trying to connect her going forward ??

We need to understand all the details you have if we are able to help.

Dea x

You need also to look for a death for her................she may not have married............

Have you looked for/found any trace of her on census records after 1871?

Hi Patchem
Robert Main is her nephew, he is the son of her sister Catherine Carrington who is married to Robert Main.

Hi Dea
I went on FreeBMD looking for possible marriage for her in the Northumberland/Durham area and this was the result. I realise that she could have married anywhere in England.
If its too much work, please dont use up all your time
Thanks
Michelle

Not sure this birth adds up to this marriage ?

If you want to avoid wasting money on a 'whim' , perhaps you would like to post the details of how you have got back to her and why you think that this is her marriage??

We could try to trace the links back for you if we have all the details that you have.

Hi Patchem
Yes very young if its her....have to be sure before I order cert as at £9 odd a go, I cant afford any mistakes and I've made a few of those and they soon add up!!!
Thanks for 1861 Census, I have seen that
Thanks
Michelle
