Well from 1912 to 1918--is a 5 year gap so could have moved several times across country with work.If you know either of the fathers names it maybe worth applying for the 1912 certificate ,either to confirm or discount,,,,,

There is no registered marriage in Scotland for Richard Metcalfe --1910 to 1920,,,,,,,,so 1912 looks about your best bet.....

1912,,,,,, -
MarriageFinderâ„¢ RICHARD M METCALFE married one of these people.

ANNIE M CHAPMAN, ANNIE E RICHARDSON.

easier if you know Annies middle name,

Scotlandspeople indexes show all BMDs up to 2014. Only births registered over 100 years ago, marriages over 75 years ago and deaths 50 years ago are available to view / download actual registrations.

If you register with Scotlandspeople, you can use the free search facility to look for a marriage of a Richard Metcalfe to an Annie.

Just to say Scotlands People isn't a subs site . You have to puchase units to look at any results and then use more units to look at actual info

Bmds after about 1911 though can't be looked at online you have to purchase the cert through the site

Drat........ just spent ages looking for a marriage and thought I'd found one in 1915 to a lady named Rosanna (possibly Annie) - only to find that the poster already has this information.

I didn't refresh the page so didn't see greyghost's post with the link to the other thread.

You have a thread DJS about various Richard Metcalfe's, where you have also asked about the possibility of a Gretna Green marriage. It also gives an idea of where Richard was living which would save folks looking all over for the marriage.

It's far better to stick to one thread about the same people to save duplication of effort by members and where all relevant information is then in one place,. It helps us to help you.

The available Gretna marriages only go to 1895.

Whereabouts did Richard and Annie live?

Hi

Please can anyone who's got an account with Scotlands people look up a Marriage search between 1913 and 1919 for a Richard METCALFE marrying a woman called Annie? I've searched the England and Wales Marriage index and I can't find a Marriage there, but I think with him being a Carter "taxi driver" they might have got Married up there?

Thanks
