Hello everyone Can I start by thanking everyone who found time to look for my William Till and Margaret ? marriage. Although I still have not found it, all the help was useful in removing some places to look at. Especial thanks though to David, who made the left field suggestion that the marriage may be abroad. I looked this week at the Anglican registers for Quebec for the Thomas Till David mentioned and surprise surprise found that the parents of Thomas are listed as William Till and Margaret. So It looks like William was born in North Scarle went to Quebec, came back from Quebec to North Scarle and along the way picked up a wife called Margaret. When looking for a marriage in North Scarle and then working out in circles parish by parish it was likely to take a long time to make it to Quebec!

I checkedthe Nottingham University online Archdeaconry Catalogue which lists a marriage bond issued 11 Jan 1845 to Thomas TILL, 21 years (sic), bachelor of North Scarle, LIN and Sarah RAYNER, 21 years (sic) spinster of Kneesall, NTT – the marriage took place 3 days later at St Bartholomew’s, Kneesall. No doubt you will be aware of this Thomas. I mentioned him here because I see that for the North Scarle* census returns covering 1851-1891, he gave his place of birth variously as, ‘Quebec, America’, ‘Quebec’, ‘America’, ‘America’ and ‘United States’. Two of the returns noted he was a British Subject. (*1861 – Thomas and family were in Nottingham.) However, in 1901 ‘Beverley, Yorks’ was recorded as his place of birth. His year of birth based on ages quoted in the census and at death ranges from 1819-1822. Perhaps then the marriage of William TILL and Margaret occurred abroad?
