Does anyone have records for St Mary's please?

Marriage of Thomas Lorton (Lawton) to Jane Greaves, 2 December 1833.
Am hoping for parent info and/or addresses.......
 
I think these are only available at Central Library, but maybe if someone is going they will look it up for you.:)
 
1833 is too early for there to be any info regarding the fathers names & occupations...there will not even be the occupation of the groom listed. The certs that will supply that info did not come into use until 1837.

Margaret.
 
Can anyone help with my ancestor Rosanna Westwood
We think she married David Cole at St Martin's in 1830 and that there may have been a second marriage in 1837 at St Mary's to James Morris - not sure if she would have called herself Rosanna Westwood or Rosanna Cole

Any help would be much appreciated - thank you to those who have already replied to my post re St Martins
 
The IGI shows a marriage beyween James Morris and Roseanna Cole at St.Mary's church, Handsworth on the 21 March 1837.
Unfortunately this would have been just before the marriage certificates carried information as to whom the Fathers' would be, occupations, and addresses. However it may well indicate if the bride was a widow. I'll have a look at the certificate copy next time that i am at the Library.

Regards

Hi there. I managed to view the copy of the marriage cert at long last. James Morris, bachelor, of this parish married Roseanna Cole, Widow, of this parish on the 21/3/1837 at Handsworth (St. Mary's) parish church. Both James and Roseanna made their mark on the register as did the witnesses Benjamin Coton and Catharine Westwood.

If you IM me your e-mail address i'll send to you a copy of the certificate.

Regards

Steve
 
Does anyone have access to the registers of St Mary's Handsworth so that they could give me full details of the marriage entry referred to above please?

I believe they are my great great grandparents.

Thanks in anticipation.
 
If this is still outstanding, I will look for it when I go to the library (probably not until the New Year now though - sorry!)
 
I wonder if anyone could possibly check the following record for additional information?

Thomas Clarke to Ann Reynolds, 16/2/1812 St Mary’s, Handsworth.

I go to the Birmingham Reference Library fairly often. However, i won't be going this week (Cheltenham Races) but more than likely will go next week. I'll have a look for you. Be warned though, that the information that appears on pre 1837 certificates normally give the bride and groom, bachelor, spinster, widow or widower and witnesses and not much else.

Regards

Steve

Thanks very much for the information, all I've gotta find now is James Spratt's second marriage to another Ann about 1813 somewhere in Birmingham, but I don't know Ann's surname, its gonna be tricky lol.
 
I wonder if anyone has access to marriage records for St Mary's, Handsworth where Edward Clark/e married Mary Walker on 25 Nov 1749 any additional info. may be helpful.

Regards

Clarkie
 
Can anyone provide any detail for the following marriage of Edward Clark/e to Mary Walker 25 November 1749, St Mary, Handsworth.

HI

Has anyone got access to St Marys records? I am looking for any information on the marriage of Elizabeth Derrington to Edward Powis in 1829.

Any info gratefuly received.

Thanks

Mand
 
Can anyone please advise me on a marriage certificate that states that the marriage was in "The Parish Church, Handsworth".. date is 1879...I was wondering which church this would be. Any help will be appreciated.

Margaret.
 
Ah! Thanks for that info...wouldn't you know it, the records for St Mary's on Ancestry does not cover 1879 !! I am very interested in this marriage as the bride/wife was later divorced by her husband for her adultery with the vicar who had married them !! (who needs "EastEnders" when you have all this passion in your family history??)

Thank you again, Margaret.
 
Thomas Clarke married Ann Reynolds there in 1812, they had 3 sons baptised St Philip's 1812 - 1817.
Thomas was noted as a Button Burnisher of Barr St. Then nothing.

The eldest son Samuel married in Willienhall in 1836. When he married for the second time in 1856 his father was noted as a metal dealer, my guess is that he had died some years earlier.

The middle son Joseph, my GGGF married in Edgbaston in 1833, age 18.

I have not been able to find anything on their youngest son Henry Thomas Clarke or his mother Ann Clarke after his baptism in September 1817.

I think they might have been buried in Handsworth but unfortunately the records are not on line

I wonder if anyone could help with burials at St Mary, Handsworth.

Regards

Clarkie
