Is that his parents marriage?

As for the year that they were married would be about 1946- 1948 ish i think

could be not sure on his parents names Caroline was the only one i came up with and Tiverton is not far from huuntsham a lot of his family back then i think went to where the work wasb on the farms so moved about a bit round that part of Devon francis was brought up in huntsham and moved to Ashbrittle when he married joyce and that is where he lived for the remainder of his years

Have found their marriage

Yes Hodder is her maiden name.

Do you know what Francis fathers name was?

that is brill thanks where would i be able to get a copy of their marraige cert would it be in taunton somewhere because wouldnt that have francis parents names on?

You can send off for one online.

You'll find the information on the GRO website.

No dont know his fathers name was told he was buried there as well but only looked up to the buriel dates to about 1968 one of the ladies of the huntsham church was letting me look in all the old records they had wished i had carried on looking after 1968 as he may have died later on

could you tell me what GRO stands for sorry but new to all of this

GRO is the General Register Office.

Just google GRO and you'll see.

In case you want to get the certificate.

would it be too much to ask for you to let have the names etc in the 1901 census for Ernest and caroline much appreciated

Hi Jennie,

Sorry I haven't got access to the 1901 census.
Put up another thread asking someone to look at the census for you.

Any BMD's I can willingly find.
