I am trying to find a marriage record for Josephine Davies. Her mother was Kathleen Davies nee Duffy and her father Thomas A Davies. In the 1950s she and her family lived at 330 Kingsbury Road.
Many thanks

I'm guessing you've already looked at the freebmd website?

Obviously, the name isn't unusual, so pinpointing the correct record will be tricky. Do you have any reason to think that she got married?

For info - which Kingsbury, please?

Have you tried the search trees section on here to see if anyone else has these people listed?

I have sent messages to two people who have Josephine on their trees and received no response. I have also looked on the electoral rolls that are available, no luck.

Kingsbury was in the borough of Wembly in 1948.

Kingsbury came under Hendon RD until 1947 when it was transferred to Willesden.RD. In 1965, the boroughs of Wembley and Willesden were combined to form the new GLC borough of Brent (which all fell under the new Brent RD).
