No need to ask anyone to find them for you - freebmd will have all the info, and it's a really easy site to use.

That's where anyone else would look, and you'd be missing out on the pleasure of doing your own research.

Unfortunately, you need to do a bit of 'leg-work' when looking for info such as you are trying to find.

Look on freebmd for marriages.................then look at the next census, to find out which person on the page married which 'other' person on the same page............

It's slow, and requires a deal of 'trial and error', but very rewarding when the pieces fall into place............

That looks right Jim. My g grandmother Josephs' sister lived in Cornforth after her marriage so he could have met Ellen there

Can not spot others at present. Will try later.
You can see how checking BMD with the census can give you a clue.

Barbara Report 9 Sep 2010 15:03

My g grandmother was Mary Ann Gill 1857 which I presume is the 13 year old on the census as Marcy. Looks like a spelling mistake as I am told that happened a lot. The others are definately her siblings
