Comments and Observations
- I was thinking how skimpy the information on this record is but when I looked at some other marriage records from about the same time I realized that wasn't true. From this record I have the marriage date, birth dates of both husband and wife, birth locations, occupations, and where they were residing at the time of their marriage. Since both bride and groom were underage, consent for the marriage was required. I know that Andrew Doyle was George's father. I assume that Thomas Everall was the bride's father and, with a little research, could probably confirm that assumption.
- I notice that George is a miner. His father and grandfather, William and Andrew, respectively, were also miners. It would be interesting to see how many other of George's brothers were also miners.

This is a great marriage record with lots of information. I have seen some with more - some with not only place of birth but names of parents and their place of birth too. Usually I see simply the names of the two getting married, the date they applied for a license and date of marriage.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think so at first, Wendy, but when I compared it to the early 1800s marriage records from England, I see it does have a good amount of information. It seems as time goes on, more and more details have been requested for marriage records as well as birth and death records.
