Looking for someone with access to Ancestry

I ordered a marriage certificate and it actually does not relate to me.

I wondered if someone could message someone on Ancestry who has Clara Louisa Maile and George Samuel Skingley in their tree. Clara and George got married on Feb 4th 1905. If they would like the marriage certificate as I do not need it, they are more than welcome.

Thanks

You might like to take a look here Nicki......

Or Google..........Unwanted Certificates.

Thanks - just thought a message would be quicker and easier.

Will have a look on sites that have been recommended but if someone could message the people with Clara and George in their trees I would really appreciate it.

Why not leave a post it on the marriage reg. on FreeBMD with your contact details? - that way, anyone looking up the marriage would see that you have the cert available.

Several trees have Clara, and several others have George.
A couple have both Clara and George.

If you're sure you want to contact one of the tree owners, I'm happy to do it for you.

Please PM me your email address to pass on to them.

Or......take out a 2 week free trial with Ancestry...and then you can contact any members who have this couple in their tree yourself.

Simples! :-)

Yes, that's a better idea!

Hi ArgyllGran

I have messaged you.

Loathe to set up an Ancestry account for a trial period as they may not get back to me before it expires.

Thank you.

I've sent messages to the two tree owners who have both Clara and George on their trees -

MargaretLogan81 - tree name: Samuels Family Tree.
and
jemma81 - tree name : Skingley Family Tree.

Margaret was last signed in to her Ancestry account today - so may be the more hopeful prospect for a reply.
Jemma hasn't signed in for over a year.

Good luck!
