Event Place: Saint Olave,York,York,England
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M01108-2 , System Origin: England-ODM , GS Film number: 0990878, 0990879

Please can anybody see anything in this record that would give more information about Charles' parents or where he was born?

Marriage records for those times didn’t give any parents names or place of birth etc

Don’t think they gave the age of the parties either

Have you found them on any later census

Thank you Shirley, unfortunately although I have found Hannah with two Children in the Hull area in the 1851 I have never found the records for 1841 and Charles died in 1848
