I`m trying to find details of Sarah Ann Lord, born c1854 in Mevagissey & moved to Hull, Yorkshire in the mid1870s. She married Svend Olsen (born in Brevig F, Norway c1851), but I don`t know if they married in Mevagissey or Hull.
According to Family Search`s Family Group Record they were married in Mevagissey abt. 1874, but I can`t obtain confirmation on that.
I know they had the following children,
Caleb Lord Olsen bOct. 1875 in Hull
Mary Hannah Olsen bNov. 1876 in Hull
Catherine Olsen bApril 1878 in Brevig F. Norway
Olaff W. Olsen b 1879 in Hull
I have found all this from the 1881 census,
but I would like to know where Svend & Sarah were maried and where the family went after 1881. Could anyone please help?

Thank you David & Glitter Baby for your replies, I already have this info..
What I am really looking for is Svend & Sarah`s marriage record, as I don`t know if they were married in Mevagissey or Hull.
