Ok so maybe it does say colour sergeant - sorry my bad - still learning to read these certificates!
It looks like Horace lived at 8 Grove Street, Hove, East Sussex. They were both 22 when they were married - so I guess he was born around 1892. Horace was a butchers assistant.
I can't really read what Frederick Mepham did (Gracia's father) looks like Millero to me but that doesn't make sense?
Thanks for your help

I know very little about military history but I do not think that I have ever heard of the rank of Colonel Sergeant. It sounds a bit like an "Invention" to me but I may be wrong. Are you sure it reads that or could it be Colour Sergeant?
If I am wrong about Colonel Sergeant I am sure someone will correct me.
Was any age of the groom or his occupation shown on the marriage certificate?

Hi everyone
After your help again with this one if possible please. I ordered the marriage certificate of Mepham/Dowling and it's confirmed that the Mepham information you found me was correct.
The Dowling information seems incorrect though. On the marriage certificate it says Horace Dowling's Father was also a Horace Dowling. Both Mepham and Dowling were living in Hove, East Sussex when they married on 18/03/1914.
It looks as though H Dowling Snr was a Colonel Sergeant on the marriage cert but he was also deceased when they married in 1914.
I've searched cenus records but can only find the Dowling you guys found above. Is it possible that if Dowling snr was in the army that Horace was born abroad?
My mum thought there was a potential Irish connection on this side but I haven't found it yet
Can any of you guys please help trace Horace Dowling for me
Thanks
Carly

I'd spotted a couple of those that you've listed before so I'll have to go back and revisit these and check.
Thank you again really appreciate it

Hi
Can anyone please help - I'm trying to find the marriage of my gr grandparents. I have my grandmothers birth certificate and her father is named as Horace Dowling and her mother as Gracia Dowling (m.s Mepham) - I think I've found Horace remarrying in 1944 on the records but I can't seem to find the marriage of H & G? Their daughter Audrey Grace was born in 1930 and I know she had 3 other siblings too.
Can someone please point me in the right direction - there is a potential that the Mepham side of the family were from Ireland.
Many Thanks
