Hi, Molly, Thanks for this reply. You wrote - > I'm still surprised to find the marriage in the Anglican church At this time (1888) the Catholic Church still considered England to be a missionary country even though it had re-established dioceses, etc. and marriages in an Anglican church were considered valid but irregular. The tradition of marrying in the local Anglican church which was established under Hardwicke's Act of 1754, continued in some areas after the introduction of Civil Registration, though it dwindled over the years. In 1908 the Church was concerned about bigamy, people getting round the teaching that marriage is for life by moving away from their roots and setting up as a single person in another town, or another country. From this time, the Church required Catholics to be married in a Catholic church before a priest for the marriage to be recognised as a sacramental marriage by the Church. It is this that you probably remember.

Peter, that was news to me, especially after all these years of using FreeBMD. It certainly is not advertised clearly enough on the website. Thanks for that - I shall be using this facility in future as it may well help with finding connected relatives. I have already posted one postem and although the website mentioned that it may take 24 hours for it to appear, it was there within one minute. For further info re. postems, folks, go to: http://www2.freebmd.org.uk/postems-help.html Cheers Graham Melbourne Oz

Dear All, Arguably the best 'Hidden' feature of FreeBMD, is the ability to attach a small permanent text message to ANY FreeBMD message. It is called a Postem. It is really just small 'breadcrumb' of 'information' that YOU leave, for other researchers will find, and likely treasure. eg Certificate details, family links etc... Many already know this, so WHY don't we ALL use them? Example: Wrong Certificate ordered??? Create a Postem of the details!!! eg. Deaths: Q3, 1837, Rochdale [Weurdle&Wardle];#1,1 Jul, Thomas Butterworth, Male;47;Inn Keeper; Apoplexy; Robert Butterworth son Featherstall; Reg:5Jul, James Topper, Regr; [Ord.in error, bworth7#gmail;com] PRs: StChad:Bu: Page74,#590,6July, Thomas Butterworth, Featherstall,47; Correct Certificate ordered??? Create a Postem of the details!!! How? Click in the [Info] link to the right of an 'event', a new page will open and will include an 'add a Postem' link, and space for about 250 characters of [Your Message!]' Easy! Imagine how genealogical landscape would change if we all created Postems for all our ordered certificates?? Take a look at this link page to view examples of 'Postems' http://www2.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/ShowPostems.pl Pretty much the first thing that I do when I get a certificate, is create a corresponding Postem, (like the above) it the hope that it will help someone. How about it?. Best Wishes, Peter in Sydney

Jim: Thank you so much. I'm still surprised to find the marriage in the Anglican church but am happy that it's been found! I'll be using the other links you sent. Again, much appreciated.

I am new to this site. I am researching the family of a friend and most of her family seems to come from Padiham, Haslingden and Hapton. John Heagreaves Hollis married Kate Murphy in 1888. I think I have found the registration for this marriage but have not yet sent away for the certificate. Prior to this marriage, the Hollis family appear in the Anglican records which are online. I am trying to figure out which Catholic church might have been the location for the above marriage. On the Genuki site the most likely one seems to be the church of St. John the Baptist. Where would the records be held for this church? In the census records, the surname HOLLIS is variously spelled HOLLAS and HOLLOWS. Thank you for any assistance Molly McLeod Toronto, Canada
