Hi list When looking for a marriage and I find several people with the same vol and page number, how can I work out who married who please? Also is it likely that someone from Swansea would marry in Carmarthenshire please? Regards Karen.

H Karen, You cannot work out from the index alone who married who. Depending on the year, there are usually 4,3 or 2 options of who married who. You can sometimes work out from subsequent census entries which of the pair married. Alternatively check Familysearch, ot the parish marriages for the appropriate county (Glamorgan's are on Findmypast). It is quite possible for someone from Swansea to marry in Carmarthenshire, particularly if it is a male, whose wife is from Carmarthenshire. regards, Dai On 19/09/2013 12:51, Karen Mabey wrote: > Hi list > > When looking for a marriage and I find several people with the same vol and > page number, how can I work out who married who please? > > > > Also is it likely that someone from Swansea would marry in Carmarthenshire > please? > > > > Regards > > Karen. >

You have some possibles. What I do is to try the pairings in the next census to confirm or eliminate the possibilities. A bit tedious if too many, but I don't have another solution.
