The earliest record in this set is Jan 1867, there are 15,900 entries and nearly 3,600 (over 20%) of them occurred before 1900. Yes, that was all the Dangerfield grooms and Petty brides in the entire database. However, there are two Dangerfield brides; including Ester - DANGERFIELD ESTHER HUTCHINSON JOHN 02/28/1889 D 307 DANGERFIELD MINNIE JONES DAVID D. 12/25/1893 E 344 There was one Petty groom before 1900; PETTY CHARLES S. HENRY JENNIE B. 12/20/1894 E 439 Have you considered that Thomas and Clara might have been married in England? Have you searched there? There are extensive British birth and marriage records available on-line. You're very welcome! Glad I might be of some assistance even if it's only what isn't there.....
