FreeBMD marriage index, columns Name | Date | Place (registration district) | Reference.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For “Married” 1 FEB 1845 of Robert Nelson & Elizabeth Debenham
Elizabeth DEBENHAM 1845 Mar Thingoe vol 13 p.790
The bride's own row. A search of every Debenham marriage registered 1844-1846 returned thirteen rows and only this one shares Robert Nelson's volume and page, so the two entries are the same registration - which identifies his wife as a Debenham independently of the headstone.

Mary Ann DEBENHAM 1844 Dec Thingoe vol 13 p.1213
FreeBMD marriage index, columns Name | Date | Place (registration district) | Reference. The bride's row, which is where the MARY ANN form of her name comes from.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For “Married” 1844 of Samuel Chapman & Mary Ann Debenham
Samuel Chapman 1844 Dec Thingoe vol 13 p.1213
The groom's row. Ten Samuel Chapman marriages were registered across England in 1844-45 and only this one is in Thingoe, and only this one shares the bride's volume and page - so the two entries are the same registration. The same test identified her sister Elizabeth's marriage to Robert Nelson at vol 13 p. 790, one quarter later in the same district.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For John Lutman & Caroline Elizabeth Peirson
John Lutman | 1885 Mar | Bedminster | vol 5c p.981 -- Caroline Elizabeth Peirson | 1885 Mar | Bedminster | vol 5c p.981
FreeBMD marriage index: groom and bride share the same registration district, quarter, volume and page -- the standard reference-match proof that these two index rows record one marriage.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For Thomas S Scantlebury & Mary Ellen Tuckett
"Marriages Sep1868 Scantlebury Thomas Smith, Bodmin, 5c 121" and "Marriages Sep1868 Tuckett Mary Ellen, Bodmin, 5c 121"
Both partners on the same volume and page. Supplies a marriage date the family previously lacked, and confirms his full name as Thomas Smith Scantlebury.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For William Baxter & Louisa Jane Tills
Louisa Jane TILLS 1870 Sep Chelsea vol 1a p.396 William BAXTER 1870 Sep Chelsea vol 1a p.396
Two index rows quoted as displayed by FreeBMD; columns: name, registration quarter, registration district, GRO volume and page. Matched on identical district, quarter, volume and page. William BAXTER is the only Baxter at Chelsea in that quarter, and Louisa Jane TILLS the only Tills.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For Richard Fulcher Coleman & Emily Tills
Richard Fulcher COLEMAN | 1839 Jun | Colchester | vol 12 p.87
Groom's half of the registration; the bride's half on the same page is cited on Emily Tills. Colchester matches the birthplace of the first six children.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For Frederick Edwards & Mary Tills
Frederick EDWARDS 1866 Dec Islington vol 1b p.469 Mary TILLS 1866 Dec Islington vol 1b p.469
FreeBMD marriage index, columns Name | Quarter | District | Reference; the two halves of one registration, quoted as two rows. The tree already holds this family's marriage date as 28 OCT 1866, inside this quarter. The only other Mary Tills marriage in London in the window is Shoreditch 1866 Mar vol 1c p.302, where no Edwards appears, so the reference match is unique.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For George Frankham & Elizabeth Tills
George Frankham 1865 Sep Marylebone vol 1a p.1072 Elizabeth Tills 1865 Sep Marylebone vol 1a p.1072
FreeBMD marriage index, columns Name | Quarter | District | Reference; the two halves of one registration, quoted as two rows. Identical district, quarter, volume and page is what identifies them as one marriage. This is the only George Frankham marriage in any London district 1856-1868 and the only one in England in 1865. FreeBMD also carries a duplicate transcription of the bride's row at vol 1a p.1172, a page-number typo for the same entry.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For George William B Gidden & Susannah Tills
Susannah Tills 1883 Sep St Olave vol 1d p.407 George William B GIDDEN 1883 Sep St. Olave vol 1d p.407
Two index rows quoted as displayed by FreeBMD; columns: name, registration quarter, registration district, GRO volume and page. Matched on identical district, quarter, volume and page. George William B GIDDEN is the ONLY Gidden marriage in the whole 1883 index.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For Albert R Gransden & Lottie Tills
Albert R Gransden 1912 Dec Milton Tills vol 2a p.2284
Columns as returned by the FreeBMD marriage index: name, quarter and year of registration, registration district, spouse's surname, volume and page. The bride's row is 'Lottie Tills 1912 Dec Milton Gransden vol 2a p.2284' - the identical reference is the proof that these two married each other. A search of Gransden x Tills marriages over 1890-1925 returns only this and a second one in 1918.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For John George Sharman & Jane Anna Tills
"John George SHARMAN, 1880 Dec, Yarmouth, vol 4b p.47" and "Jane Anna TILLS, 1880 Dec, Yarmouth, vol 4b p.47"
Index columns quoted in order: name, quarter and year, registration district, volume and page. Both halves of one marriage registration. VERIFIED against complete index lists (re-run at limit 500 to rule out silent truncation): 1880 returns 62 Sharman marriage rows and 5 Tills marriage rows for the whole of England and Wales, and exactly one of each sits on vol 4b p.47 - John George SHARMAN and Jane Anna TILLS. Three other Sharman marriages were registered at Yarmouth in that same quarter, on vol 4b pp. 9, 38 and 59 (my original note said four and wrongly counted an 1881 entry, p.60), so the match here is by reference and not by name. The eldest child Hilda Sharman was born 1883, two years after this marriage. NOTE FOR THE MODERATOR: the tree's existing Ancestry citation on all six children reads 'Record for Jane Hannah Tills' while FreeBMD transcribes the bride as 'Jane Anna Tills'. The complete 1880 Tills list contains no 'Jane Hannah' at all, so 'Jane Anna' is the only candidate. Whether the register itself reads Anna or Hannah can only be settled from the certificate or the parish register.

"Marriages Dec1841 JARROTT Robert Aylesbury 6 557" and "Marriages Dec1841 EVANS Laura Aylesbury 6 557"
Both partners on the same volume and page, the index's signature for one marriage. William was born about eight months later.

For Ernest Henry Haselden (1889–1965)
Ernest H Haselden | 1911 Jun | Lincoln | vol 7a p.1315
FreeBMD marriage index row, values in the order the search returns them: name | quarter | registration district | volume and page. Kate L Rothwell appears at the identical reference 1911 Jun, Lincoln, vol 7a p.1315, which is what ties the two index entries to one marriage.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For Kate Lilian Rothwell (1891–1972)
Kate L Rothwell | 1911 Jun | Lincoln | vol 7a p.1315
FreeBMD marriage index row: name | quarter | registration district | volume and page. Ernest H Haselden carries the identical reference, which is how the index confirms the pairing.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
Richard Fulcher COLEMAN | 1839 Jun | Colchester | vol 12 p.87
The only Richard Coleman marriage indexed at Colchester in 1837-1842, and the name the Ancestry citation on all eight children already names.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For Emily Tills
Emily TILLS | 1839 Jun | Colchester | vol 12 p.87
Bride's half of the same registration. Her maiden name reappears as the middle name of John Tills Coleman (b. 1842) and her forename as Emily Coleman (b. 1849).
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
"John George SHARMAN, 1880 Dec, Yarmouth, vol 4b p.47"
The sole record establishing this person. No dates or places of his own are asserted.
England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915 · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1915
For Jane Anna Tills
"Jane Anna TILLS, 1880 Dec, Yarmouth, vol 4b p.47"
The sole record establishing this person. The Ancestry tree citation carried by her six children calls her 'Jane Hannah Tills'; that is a compiled tree, not a record, so the index spelling stands as primary until a register is seen.
