I cannot find details of the marriage of Joseph and Harriet, such as I found for his first 2 wives.


The only way to be sure therefore, is to buy the marriage certificate.

Everyone has been so helpful , just a little confused where you get your information from , I pay to GR , are there any useful free sites I am unaware of ? i know about http://www.freebmd.org.uk/, (thanks Felicity (Flick))

Thank you all

Any wooffindins out there who may be related I will gladly allow my tree for you ..

Just for the record

Hipperholme is a village in the Calderdale area of West Yorkshire, England, located between the towns of Halifax and Brighouse.

No Kenneth, there are no useful free sites other than Freebmd. Most of us subscribe to fee-paying sites such as Ancestry or Find My Past. Basically you get a bargain with us. Though I believe that technically we are breaching the terms and conditions of our membership of such sites by using our subs to help non-members, but I think they have seen the sense to turn a blind eye, cos if they were too prescriptive we would all leave, and there would be no Genes Reunited any more, and reduced income for Ancestry and Find My Past.

Best wishes

Margaret

GR is far from the best place for research.

The familysearch sites are free....google for links.

New request:

"Sorry , more help needed , joseph above 1818 to 1900 he shows up on ancestry search in the 1841 cencus (free search) but I cant find him in GR search , i have found him in 1881 and 1891, thanks
