In that, John and Margaret Ambler were at Lepton, near Huddersfield, he aged 25 and she 29. John's birthplace was given as Kirkheaton and Margaret's as St Ann's Parish, Dublin. They had two sons, aged 3 and 2, both born at Kirkheaton. However, I should point out that if they were married at Otley then presumably they were living there at the time, possibly at the same address, and the certificate/register may not state where they were originally from. -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Hi Roy: Thanks for the reply Yes, I had first found them in the 1871 census in Lepton and the only marriage that I could find in FreeBMD was that in Otley. I was hoping to perhaps get a better date and some kind of info that might suggest the Otley Marriage is in fact this couple in the Lepton Census Mel Smith Whitby, Ontario, Canada -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roy Stockdill Sent: January 11, 2010 7:49 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [WRY] Otley PR check required. - John Ambler + Margaret Gadsby On 11 Jan 2010 at 7:04, Mel Smith wrote: > If anyone has access to the Otley Parish Registers could they check > for the marriage of John AMBLER and Margaret Gadsby registered in last > quarter of 1863 to see if there is more information on this couple. > More specifically where they were residing or from and whether by > Banns or License. > > If the right couple, he should be from Kirkheaton and she from Ireland > > Mel Smith > Whitby, Ontario, Canada < Have you checked the 1871 census?
