Probably the problem was putting in his middle name when he didn't use it at marriage. Remember less is better.

Marriages Sep 1914 (>99%)

My wife cannot find any trace of John Willis Thacker who she believes married Alice Turner in 1914. He had 7 bros and 3 sisters named Thomas, Wilfred (her gfather), George, Edward Peter, Albert Percy, Walter Horace and Isiah, Elizabeth (Lizzie), Minnie and Lily. My wife believes John Willis and Alice had 6 children so my theory of John being killed in the first world war bit the dust. Can anyone offer suggestions as to why their marriage detail and Alice's birth evidence cannot be found. Maybe she is looking in the wrong place???
