Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 917 Send Message	I'm trying to find a marriage between Albert Edward Bennett, Born about 1872 in Holloway, London, and Beatrice Ellen Marshall Courtney, born about 1882 in Buttevant Barracks, Co. Cork, Ireland. In 1901 Beatrice is living with her parents in Lanarkshire. In 1911 she's married with one child born in Swansea and two later ones born in Anfield, Liverpool. On FamilySearch I found a reference to Beatrice's birth and giving 107th Foot. In 1901 census her father's is shown as Band Master (volunteers) and his place of birth is England (doesn't specify where). It looks like Albert and Beatrice married somewhere between 1901 and 1911 but I can't find a reference anywhere. Thanks to anyone who can help.

	I've looked on FreeBMD, FindMyPast, Ancestry, and on Scotland's People and cannot find a marriage. There are lots of marriages for Albert Edward Bennett, and something makes me wonder whether Albert Edward and Beatrice did marry at all, or didn't marry until years later. Something to consider, and not unusual if Albert Edward was already married but left his wife to live with Beatrice.

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,308 Send Message	Oddly there are only 5 names on that list. Beatrice and George married each other - see 1939 index. Added: In 1901 Beatrice, age 17, appears to be already using the name Bennett. Needs to be checked but I don't have access to the full scotticsh census page. Update: This thread ties in with another -they should have been posted together as one https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1404009

Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 917 Send Message	Thank you. Just checked Scotlands People site and found Beatrice in the 1901 census but when I put in the details for the marriage I get no results. I tried to buy credits but the site has my old address and it's not letting me change it. I've contacted them so will wait to hear. I can't understand why I'm not getting any results for the marriage though. As to the other thread mentioned by nameslessone, yes the families are linked but I didn't want to confuse the two requests.
