Advice on finding marriage record Zhitomir area, mid 19th century #records #ukraine


Philip Rosinsky
 

Hello- I need some expert advice…
My ancestor Ovsey Heshel TOIBENSHTEIN was born 1822 in (I believe- based on census records) Zhitomir. He had a first wife and six kids that all died within 2-3 days in October 1865 - (based on death index records… no actual record exists and I don’t know how they all died so close to each other).
He married Pessie PERELMAN and started having children with her about 1867-8.
My problem is that I can’t find their marriage record or even indexed record in Zhitomir during the relevant years…
Any suggestions? Any idea what neighbouring towns might be worth searching in?
Thanks in advance,
Philip Rosinsky, Israel

Raina,
As Philip stated, the records he is looking for do not exist.  There is a document with that year's deaths, but it's missing the pages for the 2nd half of the year.
