Wow, that is quick, I've spent the last couple of hours and found nothing!!
Looks like the 1st born may have been my Wm.'s older brother. Is there a way of finding anything more on this?

What area did the marriage take place?

Linda Report 25 Sep 2008 21:14

As a last resort on a search I am doing I am trying to find the witnesses on a marriage cert. This is proving difficult as the name is difficult to understand but could anyone take a look in the hope they have more luck than I.

The name is: William UBENEY, the marriage was in 1882. I have no idea of the age of the person but thinking/hoping he is possibly a similar age to the couple getting married who were born 1856/7.

I have searched but found nothing could another pair of eyes help please.

Thank you.
