The entry in the marriage register will not give you Margaret's place of birth. Marriage registers give only the date of the marriage, names of both parties, age, occupation, address at the time of marriage and father's name and occupation. Have you tried the 1861 Census? If she was in Rotherham at the time of the census, her entry will give her place of birth. The 1861 Rotherham census has been name indexed. If you e-mail the Rotherham Archives & Local Studies Service (archives@rotherham.gov.uk) they will check the index and see if they can find her entry. Tony Munford Rotherham England -----Original Message----- From: SJGavin@comcast.net [mailto:SJGavin@comcast.net] Sent: 31 March 2003 03:30 To: ENG-ROTHERHAM-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ROTH] Fitzgerald/Cadman The marriage of JOHN CADMAN and MARGARET FITZGERALD took place at All Saints, the parish church of Rotherham (Anglican) on Dec 25th 1861. Margaret is my ggreat Aunt. I am hoping that her marriage record may show where she was born in Ireland. I know I could request a copy of the marriage certificate from the Register's Office but I found when I did this for her brother's marriage that there was scarce information given. I did find his marriage on the St Bede's register and it gave me more clues. (microfilmed by the LDS) I can't find a microfilm by LDS for All Saints. Does anyone know the number or if it was done? They do apper on the IGI but it was submitted by family and is somewhat suspect. The date is a year off and there is no documentation in the family records. Is it possible that SKS could look at the church record in Rotherham for me for all the information? (place of birth, parents, witnessess etc) Thank You in advance for any help that you can give me.
