Always caring about others
Can anyone help please. I would like to know how I can research Army marriage records. would they be available online? also perhaps marriages at sea. Thanks

It depends, because not all of them are available online, but a for a good starting point try the free record set "British Armed Forces and Overseas Banns and Marriages" on FindmyPast. These are generally just indexes but the references are enough to order the certificate from the GRO, although the amount of detail in them will vary.

Thank you I will do that.
 
Any further suggestions please? I don't seem to be having too much luck. Do you think I will find anything on Family Search.? Ancestry no good. I realise it is probably a dead end but worth a try. Thanks.
 
Thank you for suggestions. From 1865-1873 Owen Kelly was in different parts of India. He married Ann Mcguire. The first child was born 1874 in England. so I am assuming the marriage was somewhere between these dates. He & his wife were Catholics. So I would have thought they married. In 1873 he returned to England. I have looked everywhere and can't find anything at all. I have looked in Ireland where he came from.
