Cassidy - only just found your reply. That is truly wonderful. It now gives me something to go on although I will still ask my friend to send for the marriage cert of Harold to check fathers christian name. Fingers crossed it turns out to be George Henry. Many many thanks.

Gosh Lindsay, that's wonderful. Goodness me they were married 10 years before my friend was born !! Bet she has no idea. Thank you all very much indeed. I must persuade her now to send for the marriage cert to find her grandfathers name so that we can progress further back via the 1901 census.

You guys are wonderful. Thanks again.

Do you think one or both of them came from Ireland?...or Scotland?

MrsBucketBouquet

MrsBucketBouquet Report 7 Sep 2008 20:07

Sorry...still nothing in 1938.

Margaret

Margaret Report 7 Sep 2008 20:05

Thank you everyone for trying to help. As there do not appear to be any marriages from 1939 - 1945, I wonder whether they just lived together ? No, just thought, that can't be as they were divorced if I recall correctly through her fathers alcohol problem. I will have to have a discreet conversation about the ?marriage and see what transpires. Thank you all.
