Is it spelled, or alternatively spelled, Holmes?

Can you identify one of the children's births and order the birth certificate to get Lucy's name?

Common name in the area ... but might George E be

Hi Linda,

I guess you have seen the marriage below in Ulverston, which is the correct area.



Marriages Dec 1857 (>99%)


Holmes Richard Ulverstone 8e773

I know it doesn't help as there is no Lucy Matilda as spouse but there are only 2 names listed wheras there are usually 4 so maybe they haven't all been transcribed yet.

Christine

christine that is fabulous thank you so much for your help
linda

anyone know how i could find out who richard holmes married apart from sending for the cert to find out his brides last name ??
thanks linda

Hi Linda,

I have just found this baptism on Family search, it could be possible as she was born Droitwich according to the census.

LUCY MATILDA PRICE Pedigree
Female



Event(s):
Birth:
Christening: 01 NOV 1838 St Andrew, Droitwich, Worcester, England

Death:
Burial:



Parents:
Father: WILLIAM PRICE Family
Mother: ELIZA

Maybe someone with Ancestry could check the complete marriage indexes to see if she married the same qtr as Richard.

Christine

christine you are a superstar i really do appreciate your time and effort thanks you once again
linda

I never knew that you could search on there by just first names but thought I'd try it, so I've found out something new.

You really need to get it checked on Ancestry though if possible.

I don't have a subscription at the moment.

Christine

I have just put a request on records for a check on the marriage, as I am curious to find out if it's the correct one.

It appears that she isn't on the same page.

Christine

christine thank you so much
