Marriage records
Can someone help please. I have marriage for Catherine Scott problem is I have 2 and dont know which 1 is the one I want. On the census of 1841 she lived at 15 Berry St has any one any idea which church she may have married in? St Nicholas or maybe St Lukes on corner of Berry St. I know St Nicholas has records on line but after being unable to research for so long have forgotten where to look. Any help would be great
Hi and welcome to the forum.
I can see 2 Catherine Scott marriages between 1841 and 1851 in www.lancashirebmd.org.uk which gives the church name and husband name
However I would ask how you have arrived at your Catherine Scott without knowing her husband's name/ Perhaps you could give us more details from census entries you have and perhaps a birth certificate of one of the children

Catherine Scott
Hi
I am researching Catherines father, David Scott as part of my family history. I found him in 1841 census with no wife but with 2 children, Catherine aged 12 and Alfred aged 2. In 1851 David Scott has a wife and more children. Alfred is 12 but no sign of Catherine. She would be 22. I looked at marriages and deaths and have come up with some. I think there are 8 choices of marriage and 1 or 2 deaths. I dont know what happened to her I am just guessing and looking to see what I come up with. I thought if I looked at the marriages they would have both names and her father's name so I MIGHT strike lucky.
This has been a brick wall from my resaearch from before I had my accident and had a couple of years unable to do much.
David is my 5xgt grandfather. Hi was born Amandale, Scotland in 1806. I wouldnt know where to start looking for those records.
Going by the childrens ages and him not having a wife but having 2 children and then 10 yrs later having both is what made me think he had been married twice. Maybe 1st marriage was in Scotland? On 1941 census it says Catherine was born in Liverpool.
Thanks for any help offered I would be greatfull

Hello Barb,
Re:
Scotland's people has an excellent collection of church/parish records http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/
Free to search but you buy credits to view record content.
Education Officer has suggested a couple of marriages that might be for Catherine on the http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/ site. Given that she was only 12 in 1841 only marriages from about 1846 [when she would have been 17] need be considered.
From the 1851 census it would certainly appear that David married again. Eliza, his spouse, was bn in 1824; too young to be a mother of Catherine and Alfred. There are several Lancashire marriages for a David Scott marrying an Eliza so the best bet would be to try and find a baptism for one of her 3 children or a birth cert.
And this birth would be worth investigating. It's the only one in the time frame in Lancashire:
Births Dec 1838> Scott, Alfred - Liverpool - 20 - 386.

Hi Dickisam
Thanks for your message and the Scotland site. I will look into that.
My thoughts on Catherine being to old to be one of Eliza's children are very much the same.
I think I ought to say why I said I had come up with a choice of 8 Marriages in my last post.
1 2 different years. 4 in each.
2 while looking I got reg numbers (liverpool 8b etc) site said to click on number for details . When I did this there were 4 marriages on the page. Not knowing Grooms name meant I had the choice of 4.
Does that sound muddled? Having off day to- day, not to mention old age creeping up very fast.

Hi Barb,
RE:
For Catherine's possible marriages between January 1946 and March 1851:
1) Make a note of all the possible grooms listed. I'd stick with the ones in Liverpool and West Derby.
2) Go to the next census, give Catherine each surname in turn and search for her using her YoB of 1829 +/- say 3 years, plus Lancashire as her place of birth. If you get a hit check the groom's forename to see if you have the right one and her age.
3) Only restrict the search to Lancashire if the surname is a very common one like Jones or Smith etc. You may get more than one hit but at least it narrows the field.
Good luck,
DS
RE:
Up until 1912 there is no way of immediately knowing who married who on the earlier marriage register reports. There is another way that's a bit long-winded, but it has worked for me more than a few times.Not knowing Grooms name meant I had the choice of 4.

I would recommend you try looking for marriages on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk as well. There you often get a church given and just the name of the spouse.

Hi
David Scott married Eliza McDowall St Philip 1846 if you look on the 1851 Eliza's sister is living with them Jane McDowall aged 18.
Re the William Rigby & Catherine Scott marriage according to the 1861 census which is the only one i can see them on Catherine was born c1820 in Scotland..I am not saying she is your Catherine..just the one that married William Rigby in 1849 St Nicolas.
