Was just wondering whether anyone could tell me how to use FreeBMD to find records of whio married who if that makes sense.

Usually when you find a marriage, you will see a list of names that appear on the same page, usually four other names. It will be one of those. Unfortunately you will have to get the marriage cert to prove which one it is but it gives you something to work on.

i must be doing something wrong then cause everytime I put in a name under marriages it gives me several names the same but dont give me who they were married to?

You need to click on page number - it will then bring up the names on the same page.

What name are you trying to find out Jessica?

Tina
Rose barnes she married William Windsor

As Angela said, click on the page number, it will bring up the list I mentioned.

Sorry should have asked what year? There are 227 Rose Barnes!

Is it this one - William obviously hasn't been transcribed yet:

Marriages Dec 1921 (71%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barnes Rose L Windsor Stockport 8a 87
Hopwood Charles C Radcliffe Stockport 8a 87
Radcliffe Emily Hopwood Stockport 8a 87

Tina I'm sorry but I dont know a year as its my gt nan and both my grand parents are decesed now but i think its at 1840's???? maybe later

Is the one I found too late then? :-))

Angela

thanks angela I think thats what I got but I cant go no further than that because If I click onto the page number again it just goes to the search page again is that what hapens to you?

no I dont think so thanks for looking

I have found one for William but its 1914

Its annoying me that i'm searching for these people but cant find info on them

Jessica

If you buy the cert, it will give you more details.

Hi Jessica, I have looked at the one Angela found for you and seen the original entry which appears to be correct whether this is your relation or not you would have to decide. Did you try clicking onto the spectacles to scan which takes you to the page to then click onto the original document?
Hope that makes sense.

thanks tina thats very helpful do you know what date you can go up to?
for example i'm looking for records of the birth of Ronal albert Moore 1927 but cant find it?

Hi Jessica, thats a huge jump between 1840 to 1914.
Perhaps you can try and work out a rough date or marriage by deducting the age of your parent when they were born and guessing roughly how old your grandparents were when they got married and do the same for them. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Ah, I think that comes within the 100 year rule Jessica. So that will not have been transcribed yet. You will be able to get copy of birth certificate as Angela suggested and find out who the parents were of Ronal(d) Moore that way if you can give more details i.e. place of birth. If you know where he was born you could try seeing if that local authority has Births on line for that date. Go onto the website that Angela suggested they will give you some help there I am sure.
Best of luck - its a nightmare I know!!
