Sorry everyone, I honestly do know better now, but when I started this I wasn’t as wise and wily – so my problem is this: A marriage ref for THOMAS BUTLIN and ELIZA STURMAN – all I have is Dec Qtr 1865, Kettering – thing is I now can find hide nor hare of it on FreeBMD, Ancesty or 1837!!!!!!!!! Please can someone tell me if I was originally hallucinating or what the rest of it is? I have both their births, all their children, but having come back to this line after a break because I’d hit a brick wall, I thought I’d check what I’d got and order a couple of certs. and now find I only have half the ref!!!! Somebody take pity on a poor old soul whose losing her marbles?!?!?! Thanks Trudy

Hi Trudy Sorry I can't find them either - I can only find 1 marriage on Kettering for Thomas Butlin and that is to an Ann SHARMAN Mar q 1870 ref 3b 180. Bit of a mystery, eh? Vera

Suppose this is just a red-herring?? Name: Iliffe, Harry B_tlin Record Type: Marriages Quarter: December Year: 1891 District: Kettering County: Northamptonshire Volume: 3b Page: 431 presume his middle name is Butlin? One of the possible spouses is Eliza Sturman........ Merry

Trudy, Did you find the family on a census, if so, which one and a] where were they living b] their ages c] names & ages of children. I can then check on the census & try to spot them. Vera

Hello Trudy, I have found this on 1837 site could this be yours. Eliza Sturman - Dec - 1865 - Kettering - 2b - 393. Best wishes. Pat

When you checked it on 1837online, were you feeling all cross??? Did you remember to change the search criteria to Marriages instead of the default, Births?????????? Merry
