Well I was married Boxing Day but it just gets lost in all the Christmas celebrations. Reason for choosing that day: our parents owned their own shops & the only days they closed were Sundays, Christmas Day, Boxing Day & Easter Monday!

I have quite a few weddings & baptisms on Christmas Day in my family. I didn't know it was free for poor people - that's interesting. I think another reason is probably that Christmas was not celebrated as now. It was really a special religious day when people would go to church then go about their daily life much as usual.

They also didn't have to pay so for the poorer people this was a great bonus.

Hello. I wonder if anyone has access to the Marriage registers for the village of Paull? I suspect my 4 x great-grandmother Elizabeth CALVERT married Edward WHITE there on 6 July 1814. Elizabeth WHITE married James Finkell at Kirby Wiske, North Yorks. on 5th January 1821. Her status was not recorded but on her marriage certificate for what I suspect was her FOURTH(!) marriage, her father is listed as Thomas CALVERT, weaver. The only Elizabeth CALVERT I have found marrying a WHITE around the right time is the Elizabeth of PAULL. I would be very grateful if someone could check if the marital status is given in the 1814 marriage register and also the names of witnesses. I'm also very interested in knowing where the two parties were from. Can anyone also help with a burial for Edward SMITH between 1814 and 1821? Thanks in advance for any help. Best wishes, Mark in Barcelona

Hello Deirdra Our ancestors who were servants had few holidays and one of them would be Christmas Day, so perhaps that explains weddings on 25th December.

Friends, Could anyone suggest a reason for Christmas day weddings in 1887? Seems a strange day? Doesn't seem the bride was pregnant (no record of any children born until 3 years later) Thank you and regards Deirdra

Hi Angela, Yes thanks. There are some marvellouse members on this East Yorkshire list and they have found all of the censuses for me. My thanks have already been sent to them. The Claxton marriage is the one with Elizabeth Bell. I have the details although no actual copy.

Hi further to my earlier posting this baptism is unlikely to be at seamer. The brackets do not mean only the mother is shown as all the entries from this film are done in exactly the same manner even when both parents are shown. This entry has no source call no. as those inputed as part of the church program do and I can find no reference to the film no. quoted in the Mormon church library. It may well be the brackets indicate a unstraight forward or questionable source and given that the prinipal church in Scarborough has been batch inputed by the Mormon church for this time period and should be on the IGI - if it is a bishop's transcript has been misspelt from the original register or vice-versa. If you have the time I would suggest that you use the batch no of the Scarborough church C053884 film in family search IGI narrow the date to that year but put no name and it will produce a list from that year of all baptisms and you may be able to see if surnames thereon are similar to Oman misspelt hope that helps John Ferguson EYFHS committee member ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Corbett" <denniscorbett@denniscorbett.e.telefonica.net> To: <eng-east-yorks@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2008 11:07 PM Subject: [ENG-EAST-YORKS] Seamer baptism > Could anybody with IGI and Scarborough knowledge help me understand an IGI > entry please? > > It is for Mary Oman, christened in "Scarborough, Bts, Yorkshire" and the > name is written as <Oman> > > Only the mother, Jane, is named.
