Yes - the record does confirm the marriage details!

Chris :)

Take out Ancestry's 14-day free trial, and look at the images yourself...........

I gave you the date of the marriage............which was when his wife was at the address

Thanks Chris.......

Sorry Flick......I hadnt tied in the date of marriage with his wife being at any particular address.........

Did I miss something?
because, you sound a bit harsh and I am not sure how I could have known that their marriage in 1917 confirmed her address as Parsture Lane and this tied in with Johns Army record date when he mentions a wife living there?

It may be me.....being a bit 'slow' ....but I dont deliberately ask questions twice - just for the sake of it.

I really do appreciate everyones help
Thank you again

Gilliam have you tried your local library. Many have free access to Ancestry. You ususally have to book the computer in advance but worth it if you can get to see the records

Hi Rutland Belle

No I hadnt even thought of the Library offering free access to Ancestry...I will take a look - if it does that would be really great.

Many thanks for your advise.

Gill

Gillian
It does not say any date at all,I think Flick has the correct marriage for John .

It would take me a while to send you the images of the military records but if you Pm me your email address I will try but it is dinner time here in OZ so you will have to give me some time to do it.

Suex

Edit Sorry it does say the marriage details on the Record . must have missed it .

If I sounded 'harsh' perhaps it was because the info I posted about the date of the marriage appeared to have been ignored
