Hi and welcome to the forum.

Lesley is going to the Liverpool Record Office tomorrow - or it may be today by the time you read this!

You can add a request to her post and if the area is held there she will do her best.

Please check http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/ and ensure you have the church the marriage took place and it will give the year, additionally if you can check the GRO index and narrow down the quarter it will give a three month time span for her to search, rather than a full year.

Hi and thanks for getting in touch

Regarding the above I have the following info Surnames John H Duckworth and Elizabeth Bowles married in 1899 at St Leonards in Bootle registered at South Sefton ref A5/1/313 do not know what month .

Regards Midgei

Hi

You can find the quarter in which the marriage took place by using http://freebmd.rootsweb.com

In this case - it was the September qtr 1899 which means they married somewhere between 1st July 1899 and 30th Sept 1899

Hi Midgei

Marriage Registers for St Leonards Bootle are at Crosby Library which covers South Sefton, don't think the LRO have them .

Added, Sorry Midgei just checked the LRO Site they do have some records 1890 - 1921
LRO Ref 283 LEO
Hope SKP can help you .
