Hello List, I'm trying to tie in some loose ends and I'm having difficulty finding a marriage of Margaret HARDWICK born in 1862 in Brimington. I have found a possible Margaret in the 1891 census - aged 27 from Brimington – she's the wife of a David COCKERTON. But I cannot find a marriage of Margaret to David in FreeBMD. There is a marriage in 2Q 1881 of David Elijah COCKERTON, Chesterfield RD 7b 1047 - but there are only 3 entries in the index for this page - could the missing entry be Margaret? I have look at the original index page for Margaret HARDWICK (1881M2-H-0105) for 2Q 1881 - and she is not there. Anyone any ideas?

Hi Rosemary FreeBMD has a facility for searching for missing spouses by looking at the relevant page numbers for a district and quarter. For Chesterfield Q2 page 1047 there is an oddball number of entries again of 3. In this case one of the names is Margaret WITHAM and looking at the image the 4 is not clear and perhaps could be a 1. Is it possible that Margaret HARDWICK married a WITHAM and David Cockerton is her second husband?
