Find Ancestors

Hi, I have hit a brick wall when trying to find the marriage for George Slater and Hannah Simmons. George was born in Armthorpe Doncaster in 1804, Only info on Hannah is born about 1808 in Kilnhurst ( I can't find Kilnhurst, so not sure where it is!!) Children are all born in Doncaster between 1830 and 1848, and example, the Parish record for Rose 17th April 1844, mothers name is formally Simmons. If anyone can help I would be grateful. Thank-you.

Have you tried family search site .they seem to hold more parish records

Geo Slater

Marriage Date: 30 Jan 1826
Parish: Emley

Yes, I've been on there, there is a marriage for a George Slater and Hannah West in May 1828 in Doncaster, which is about the right time but the surname is wrong. :-(

Strange, I haven't got a John B, got Rebecca and Harriett 1830. George 1832. Thomas 1833. Sarah Ann 1835. Emma 1836. Edwin 1841. Edgar 1842. Rose 1844. Theophilus 1845 and Arthur 1848.

Yes, must be a different family.

Ancestry ties the slater /west marriage to this family

Will look into it, , drives you a bit sometimes when you can't quite understand it, although i have another ancestor whose surname changed 3 times over 4 census years!

Kilnhurst - from simple Google search:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilnhurst

Also easily found on Google Maps.
About 5 miles NE of Rotherham.

Thank-you, I look on our roadmap and couldn't see it.

Have you considered that George may have married twice? There's a noticeable gap in ages of the children in 1851

The Simpson (possibly Simmons mis-heard) child in 1851 must have a connection to his wife..

Where is that child in 1841?
