I've "rescued" an old marriage certificate belonging to Edward MUNROE of
Beverly, Massachusetts and his bride Sarah A. MARTIN also of Beverly, MA.
The couple was married on the 27th of November 1867 in Manchester, MA.
Edward MUNROE is said to be the son of Edward MUNROE and Betsy JACOBS, 39
years old at the time of the marriage, his 2nd. Edward lists his place of
birth as Danvers, MA and his occupation as Shoemaker.
Sarah A. MARTIN is the daughter of Geo P. MARTIN and Sally L. CARTER, age 36
at the time of the marriage, her 1st. Sarah lists her place of birth as
Manchester, MA. Attached to the certificate is an obituary for Edward
MUNROE listing him as the identical twin brother of James MUNROE. It is not
dated, however, it notes that he was the working as the janitor at the
Briscoe School at the time of his death and was Sexton of St. Peter's
Church.
Based on limited research I did find evidence of Edward MUNROE b. 7 Aug 1828
at Beverly, MA, though I did not find anything more on the couple or their
families. I'm hoping to locate someone from their family so that this
wonderful piece of family history can be restored to the family.
If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please
contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
