Hi Daniel. Although you would not be able to find the marriage at your local LDS centre (they only have records 1864+), they should be able to order in the Irish 1901 Dublin census films for you. Although you may have to go through several films to find them (if you don't know which parish they lived in), it's certainly worth the effort as I found all mine in the 1901/1911 Cork City census and found siblings of my grandfather whom I did not know existed. Added: Ooops - sorry, probably not around by 1901, and they may have been in Belfast by then, not Dublin. Sorry, I'll have another think. Wendy

I know and just my luck, almost all my family are from ireland lol. All my family are roman catholics and the couple im after were the last protestants of the family before their son changed religion to marry a catholic girl. Danny

If they lived in Ireland, one has to assume they married there.........and Irish records are notoriously sparse. Reg

There not on any census as a couple because they lived in ireland. I have a copy of their sons marriage cert from 1885 belfast which states his dad william as a publican who was deceased. But emerald ancestors also checked the parish register and it stated his mother was ann rice. But iv searched and searched and come up with no marriage for them and figured they may have married elsewhere and have been trying ever since to find any william wilson married to a ann rice between 1840-64 anywhere. Danny

Surely the request is for a marriage in the mid-1800's............ Reg

Iv been looking for them so long i even get confused lol Danny

No sorry The william who was born abt 1864 had a wife called sarah. It was his dad william who had a wife called ann rice. Danny

On which census is the first 'sighting' of them as a couple? Reg

Just to confuse..........(sorry lol) 1901? Name: Edward Wilson Age: 38 Estimated birth year: abt 1863 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Annie Gender: Male Where born: Belfast, Ireland Civil parish: Blackburn Ecclesiastical parish: St Matthew Town: Blackburn County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Blackburn Sub-registration district: Blackburn, Southern ED, institution, or vessel: 14 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 143 Household Members: Name Age Annie Wilson 38 Annie Wilson 8 Edward Wilson 38 <<<bread baker Sarah A Wilson 13 Victor Wilson 4

Yes it is. Danny

Iv been searching this pair for a fair few months now and im determined to find them. If she used her middle name then i she defo went back to her first name because it shows up in a parish register for her sons marriage in belfast in 1885. Danny

Hi antoinette sounds plausible I found a marriage in india between a william wilson and a sophia rice but wasnt sure because of different name. Do you think its possible people changed there first name back then? Danny

1897 Q4 RICE Annie Sculcoates 9d 444 Wilson William Edward Sculcoates 9d 444 The district Sculcoates is in the county of East Riding of Yorkshire

Hi Danny That's right - it means the marriage was registered in either October, November or December of that year. Quarter 1 is Jan, Feb, Mar, quarter 2 is Apr, May, Jun and quarter 3 is Jul, Aug, Sept.

Daniel Theres 4 quarters to each year.....quarter 4 is when the marriage was registered. Oct,Nov,Dec. Only sending for the cert will give you the date of marriage. (never pay more than £7)

Hi still looking Is 1897 qtr4 the time they married? Danny

Hi everyone I have a marriage between a william wilson and a ann rice who were both born in ireland that i cannot find anywhere at all. It could have happened in ireland or england or even abroad. the marriage would have taken place between 1840-64. If any kind soul does have the time and comes across a marriage between the above names in any place at all please could you let me know because the likely hood is that they are probably mine. Thankyou Danny
