I am looking for a marriage (it doesnt appear on the GRO index). I know the date is 19 March 1920 in Burnley and believe it may of been at a Roman Catholic Church if it is possible for you to check the catholic church records for this area. I am not sure if it is the records office or the library that hold these records. The married couple are Grosvenor Ashford Clarke and Irene Aida Littlejohns thanks in advance, Siobhan |

Sharmala I think Siobhan has this date from a later (Scottish) birth certificate. She has already had searches done at the GRO and local RO. OC |

hiya, sorry I don't have an exact church. I am kind of clutching at straws. I know the couple were roman catholics (well the bride was anyway), so I am looking at the hope it got missed being sent to the records office. (A big hope I know). I have been trying to trace my Great grandfather - Grosvenor for over 5 years now and I am not closer to finding anything. If it is too difficult a search, then not to worry. here's hoping the 1911 census when it is released (fully searchable) will give me some new leads. |
