Edmunds marriage... hey ho, both brides called Hannah!!AND his wife changes her birth place with every census! At one point though she does give a second initial as E so maybe Hannah Bell as the other is Hannah Mary BELL, Hannah Mary 1877 March Marriages Bradford West Riding of Yorkshire CLOUGH, William Thomas 1877 March Marriages Bradford West Riding of Yorkshire PEARSON, Hannah 1877 March Marriages Bradford West Riding of Yorkshire WEST, Edmund 1877 March Marriages Bradford West Riding of Yorkshire

Sorry Jess, I don't understand why there are 2 marriages - who is the Clough fella?!?!

The Clough Fella married the other Hannah. without some careful reserach we may not be able to find out if Edmund married Hannah Bell or Hannah Pearson what you can do is send for the cert , groom Edmund west, then the only other name on the cert will be his bride (and her father of course)

The ref for the cert you need to obtain is Name: WEST, Edmund Record Type: Marriages Quarter: March Year: 1877 District: Bradford County: West Riding of Yorkshire Volume: 9b Page: 158

At that time there was room for two couples on each page in the marriage register. Freebmd rather unhelpfully lists them in alphabetical order so you have to guess who partnered whom. Liz x

....but it wouldn't matter in which order the brides and grooms were listed - you still cannot tell, from the indexes alone, who married who. Merry

MMM, I didn't know that, how interesting! Liz x

You would think the GRO were planning it in advance.......''We'll stuff all those family history researchers in the 21st century - we'll make it two or four (before 1852) marriages to the page - that'll fox 'em!!'' Merry
