Hi Mossiepossie

Forget the unusual spelling of her name. Even though Statutory registration had started in 1855 there was still no standardisation of spelling.
Possible name options could be:
Traynor/Trayner/Trainer/Trainor/Tranor/Traner just for starters.
And if you add in an Irish accent try each with ‘Th’ as well.

A Wildcard entry using T*r*?r might bring something appropriate up.

Johnston, Reside, Lyle all over the place !

Watson, Morton, Anderson, Tawse, in Kilrenny

hi anne, your informatoin was very helpful, when you're in the IGI site how do you find out who the married parties children were. i've noticed when looking for a marriage some of you can give names and d.o.b's of the children as well as the date of the marriage?

Hi mossiepossie,

Glad to have been of some help :)

To find out if there are any children click on IGI (International Genealogical Index) on left hand side of screen. At the right of that screen enter the father and mother's names. Leave the "Event" and "Country" at "All", then click on "British Isles" for the region. When you click on the Search button if there are any children they will come up.

To find the marriage of the couple just enter the names of the couple on the left hand side of the same screen where it says "First Name/Last Name". In "Event" click on "marriage" and "British Isles" for region. If too many couples with the same names come up you can enter the country also.

Hope this helps a little :)

Regards,
Anne H
