Wanting to check two possible marriages (no signs so far) in my family. There is a possibility that one or both are either Salvation Army or some non established church: Are these likely to be recorded inother than the standard civil records?

Hi David The Sally Army was based on methodism But no matter what the situation, if they married there would be a registration in the GRO Some events were missed off the quarterly returns by the local office to the GRO, or were reported in error, wrongly spelled etc What are the names, locations and dates/years ?

If you want to look for Salvation Army records, then I suspect you need to put more substance behind their connection before you start looking. Were they officers or just members. You are more likely to find indexed information if they were officers. While the Salvation Army did keep records, the Salvation Army headquarters in London were bombed in the second world war and therefore any centrally held records at that time were lost. I have not been able to find any policy of local records being submitted to headquarters. The archives do have some records that would have been collected locally. It is possible that any records are locally held. Bear in mind that the Salvation Army is a relatively young organisation. William Booth started his missions in the late 1860s, and it did not become an organisation with committee until the late 1870's, and not until 1878 that it was called the "Salvation Army". Therefore if we are talking before these dates it will not be the Salvation Army. My great-aunt and her husband were officers at the time of their marriage in 1908, and they married in a register officer. So do not assume that any marriages were conducted by the Salvation Army themselves. regards Keith Drage Swindon UK On 02-Apr-16 12:40 PM, Nivard Ovington via wrote: > Hi David > > The Sally Army was based on methodism > > But no matter what the situation, if they married there would be a > registration in the GRO > > Some events were missed off the quarterly returns by the local office to > the GRO, or were reported in error, wrongly spelled etc > > What are the names, locations and dates/years ? > > Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > On 02/04/2016 12:25, David Mills via wrote: >> Wanting to check two possible marriages (no signs so far) in my family. >> There is a possibility that one or both are either Salvation Army or some >> non established church: >> Are these likely to be recorded inother than the standard civil records?

Thanks both... it is as I suspected..... Since posting the request more connections have come to light..... so will pursue these.... My wife has discovered a great aunt of mine who was "unknown" before today and whose birth has pointed us towards Barking, Essex...... my great grandmother did get around it seems.
