William Bailey marrying Mary Kent

Hello

Thanks to you guys I found out that William Baily married Mary Kent. I found the following
Name: Mary Kent
Gender: Female
Marriage Date: 05 Aug 1829
Marriage Place: Rotherham, York, England
Spouse:
William Bailey
FHL Film Number: 919317
Reference ID: 186

But no matter where I look I cant find a copy of the certificate to find out who William and Mary's parents were.

Can anyone help me?>

Hi Steven,

Back in 1829, parents were not shown on the marriage entry.
The only other info is that William was a bachelor and Mary a spinster.

Hi Steve,

NO certificates prior to when Civil Registration Started in September qtr of 1837.

What you are Looking for is the Register entry for the marriage but as Moira has said it doesn't give you the parents names. You need the brides baptism for that.

To carry on from my last entry...................

We had transcribed Rotherham Parish Church and the results are in our Database.

Over the the left under Parish Records.

I have just looked under "Family Search" they have improved their site and I don't think Mary came from Rotherham as the Marriage might imply.

Have you tried looking under Sheffield Parish Church Baptisms.

Have you worked out her age from one of the census that she is on.

Ah I see the EDIT is back. Holiday weekend over here so maybe not many people keeping an eye on such things.

Also naming pattern of her children might give you a clue to her parents.

Maybe a start.

Hi Steven, It's a long shot but there is a marriage at Rotherham Minster 29 December 1805 George Bailey married Hannah Ellis.

Re: William Bailey marrying Mary Kent


Steven, you need to access to FMP
The outstanding best match for a birth for William Bailey is an 1810 baptism at Rotherham with parents Thomas and Ann.
Thomas Bailey married Ann Streets, Sheffield 1809.That marriage is on this site in marriages over to the left
Thomas and Ann and a couple of presumably grandchildren are in the 1841 census over to the left.
The Mary Kent found by Elaine had father Titus.

Hello Elaine

I had a look through your database and couldn't find Rotherham parish records

Re: William Bailey marrying Mary Kent

Hi Steve,

If you look at the index over to the left and Under Parish Registers you will note at the TOP of the Page there are headers.

One is Baptisms and the other Marriages
This tells you what we have covered and is in our database.

You are correct that there are no Baptisms for Rotherham Parish Church.
Suggest you try Family Search for those.

We have however covered the following marriages that occurred at the Parish Church in Rotherham.

Rotherham Parish Church - July 15, 1540 to June 26, 1837

Hope this clears up any miss understanding you have from my previous message.
