Somersetgirl,

Thankyou for the link, will check it out.
Ok about John, but i still find it strange about Houghton. I dont know whether to get the cert or not as 9.25 is alot for a piece of paper if i get the wrong one. Dont you think? Im going to look on Genes see if anyone has the name in their tree first.
Once again thankyou for your help.

Moody blue,

Thankyou for looking at 1911, the family wasnt there in 1911, they must of moved before.

I'm still thinking that he dropped the name "Leonard" and went by the name of John - but as to why he was Herbert in the marriage is a mystery.

Thankyou for the cert references, i will add them to my list that is growing and growing. Anyone know if the GRO will be reducing the price of certificates at all? I have so many to get.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can do a look up for Parish records for John Herbert and Gladys Ellen Smith's marriage in september 1915 at all please? as i was told that the original record wont be the same as the marriage cert i have. I have been trying to sort this out all week and i am nearly giving up, my last resort maybe to order the birth cert for Leonard but at the moment i want to see if there is a parish record.

Thankyou

Joanne
