Hi Petra

I was delighted to see in this latest posting of yours the names of my 3x gt grandparents marriage; James Johnston who married Jane Graham on 9th February 1826 in St Mary’s Carlisle. 

I had assumed their marriage wouldn't be recorded in the papers as James was working as an ostler/coachman and I assumed he would not have been very well off, they later lived in Globe then Marys Lane. Jane's father, was I believe George Graham, a mason. Maybe George placed it in the papers. 

What is unusual about this marriage was that James was 46 and Jane almost 40 and both were single at the time. They still managed to go on and have 5 children over the next 6 years though.

Thanks for your posting Petra, as always fascinating reading

Hi Sue,

 

I’m pleased you found your ancestors mentioned. Thanks for letting me know! This sort of feedback makes it all worthwhile.

 

At that time, reporting of births, marriages and deaths in the newspapers was not charged for. Most of the information was collected by the newspaper (no doubt with help from the parish clerks and some correspondents from the major towns in Cumberland), some were reported to the newspaper by relatives or, in the case of marriages, by the couple themselves. The BMD column was considered as part of the news. Whether your marriage made it into the paper depended to a large degree on where you lived and whether the newspaper had a good relationship with the parish clerk of that parish. The parish clerks of St. Mary’s and St. Cuthbert’s clearly sent in a weekly list. I remember that at the beginning of one new year, the editor made a very irritated comment that the parish clerk at one of the Carlisle churches was now refusing to cooperate, and stated that this would be a disservice to the readers of the newspaper.

Hi Petra

Thats really interesting to know, thanks. I will now make a point when Carlisle library re opens of having a look at more newspapers around the time my ancestors married as quite a few married in Carlisle.

I  assume these were generally long standing positive relations between St Mary’s and St Cuthbert’s and the papers? Was the akward clerk at one of the other parish churches or was it cryptic and left people wondering which church?

I think it was St. Mary’s, but I can’t really remember. It seems the situation was resolved within a few weeks.
