Hi people
I have Sylvanus Grainger who married one of my relatives and I am trying to find him pre 1870, when they married:
Date: 03 Apr 1870
Text: Church of St Mary, Kingswinford
x of Silvanus Grainger, 21, Bachelor, Miner of Kingswinford. Father: Joseph Grainger, Miner.
Esther Gould, 18, Spinster of Kingswinford. Father: Elijah Gould, Labourer.
Witnesses: x of James Grainger. x of Maria Salt.
I have him on all census after marriage, but cant seem to find him on any before, (the names a bit of a stinker with that old handwriting) nor a birth?
Could be silvanus or sylvanus
