I believe that John Wilson may have married an Emma Clay in 1874 in or about Leeds. Can anyone help to confirm this for me?

Thank you.

Hi David

Try Yorkshire bmd to confirm marriages as they give the actual spouse. It's like Freebmd and not fully transcribed yet but they are adding to it all the time. Some areas are better covered than others.

This is another John Wilson / Emma marriage if that's what you are looking for.

Thanks for your help. I think she was Emma Jane ??? Just not sure of her surname. The marriage could have been a year or two earlier, again just not sure.

Thank you

Hi Paul,

Mine came from Bradford but I am having problems finding them. It could be that some were in Wentworth area.

Maybe a link?
