Find Ancestors

Now of course we know how I am going to spend my Friday evening......

Just Friday evening? Whole weekend Id have thought! Get those certs ordered. And dont order them from anywhere except that site I gave you - some scam sites charge up to £50 for a £7 cert.

Thanks!

Hi,
Why did you add the McCormick and Waller marriages for certificates I need to get?

No, you dont need to get that cert! - they just happened to be on the same page of the index that your lot were on. When we do look ups on marriages we normally give everyone on that page because otherwise you could mislead someone - particularly if the wifes surname is unknown and the two or three brides shown have the same first name - they arent shown in couples,on the freebmd,but in alphabetical order so its a habit.

However, you know your couple on there, Thats the one to order. You will see I have pointed to your couple in the list of people. Sometimes people dont know the surname of the wife and so we just point out the likely one due to the first name matching a census record or something.

You just need to buy the Portch/Wilson cert that is shown on that page. In fact you only need to use the name of either the bride or groom on a marriage certificate - you dont need both. So if you find someone on a freebmd marriage who is definitely yours but you dont know the other persons name just order with the one name you are sure of.
