Just had a peek and must say I can't see him. Where did he marry, do you know?

Is this Hilda's death? How sad.

Thanks for PM, though not entirely sure why you sent it! Anyway, if you can't find a marriage, I wonder where you have found info. re, his birthplace and year?
I can't see any of their children born in Suffolk, but I guess not relevant as you must have those!
Jan

Private message - sorry!

Michelle, is there a reason for deleting all your replies?

Sorry, Can see what I've done now (used your name instead of the 'Add' facility)
Regards Michelle

OK! Back to business. Sorry to seem like I'm straying too far, but can you put details of birth ofyour husband's mother/father please as not seeing it?
