Hello List: Hoping someone can help. I have a Francis FARRAND born 1825 in Lepton in my tree In 1851 he is living with his parents in Lepton In 1861 he is living with wife Elizabeth in Dalton and going by forename "Frank". She is also born in Kirkheaton. There are two marriages of a Frank FARRAND in June qtr 1852 in Huddersfield Reg'n District. Unfortunately there are Elizabeth's in both pages Marriages Jun 1852 Farrand Frank Huddersfield 9a 347 Fox Ann Huddersfield 9a 347 Kaye Elizabeth Huddersfield 9a 347 Sykes James Neild Huddersfield 9a 347 Marriages Jun 1852 Brier Joseph Huddersfield 9a 360 Farrand Frank Huddersfield 9a 360 Hepworth Martha Huddersfield 9a 360 MCDONALD Elizabeth Huddersfield 9a 360 Problem is I can't identify which Elizabeth Married Frank. KAYE is a fairly common surname in Kirkheaton . McDONALD, I think, is rare. Some years back I transcribed the FARRAND entries from the Kirkheaton PR's and do not have a marriage of Frank in 1852. Either they didn't marry at the Kirkheaton Parish Church or I missed the entry. There are too many James SYKES listed in the 1861 census in Huddersfield to search through and I don't know his age. The only Joseph BRIER that appears in 1861 is in Halifax and the wife is not present. As Frank is not in my direct ancestry lines I'm not prepared to purchase a child's birth certificate. Does anyone have any Marriage info from other sources that might clear this up. Mel Smith Whitby, Ontario, Canada

you could try doing it by elimation! See if you can find a James N Sykes married to an Ann or an Elizabeth and a Joseph Brier married to an Elizabeth or a Martha. In the right area and the right census you might be able to eliminate which one did not marry an Elizabeth if you get my drift.
