I've been trying to find a marriage for Howard Cuzick. I've found a marriage on FreeBMD for Dec 1921 spouses name is Williams. Normally you can view others on the page but this time its not working. I've visited Ancestry and found it there but when I search for Williams with the same reference of 6b 1843, I come up with nothing. Any ideas on how I can find out the first name of his wife.

Looks as if 1921 is not yet fully transcribed on freebmd.

Did you look at the complete index on Ancestry, not the partial?

Alice M Williams, West Bromwich 6b 1843

Tip

If you can't find it on freebmd you won't find in Ancestry Partial as Ancestry's transcriptions come from freebmd and are usually not as up to date.

On Ancestry's home page, just below the search box, click on "Go Directly to UK Birth, Death and Marriage Record".

On the page that opens, click on Marriages under "Complete BMD Index ranges & Images 1837-1983". Enter Williams under Last Name, select Oct-Nov-Dec for quarter, enter 1921 for year.

Then you have to look down the spouses columns to find the Cuzick.

Luckily it was in the first column - there are a lot of Williams on the page!
