i am trying to find my great grandparents before their marriage.
i have their marriage certificate but nothing before that.
marriage nov 8th 1846 at st martins birmingham.
marriage between edward lee and ann mariah pugh,
both living at the crescent
fathers .
john lee blacksmith
john pugh blacksmith.
any help with either family would be great. i am stuck with both.
i know ann had a sister younger than herself named sarah but thats it.
i have hit a brick wall with both families and cannot move back with them.
thank you

who were thje witnesses they might give a clue, and the address on the cert ?

if you have any census for them together post them as it might help ie were they were born and year of birth etc

This looks a possible as a "sister" staying with them
