even the original looks like an "a"! but every thing else matches perfectly, how odd

but judging by the marriage in Canterbury that looks to be the one, I have no idea of places in Kent and distances.

The marriage cert will fingers crossed confirm either way.....

Thank you for the geography help and locating marriage details.
Any ideas as to the change from J to A and back again? unless of course she had 2 middle names as alot of that side seem to have even up to the present day.

Many thanks again

Last one is looking good. Blean is about a mile or so from Canterbury.

Jill (in East Kent)

If it is the birthcert of one of their children that you are waiting for, that will give you the mother's maiden name which should help you find the marriage.

Kings Norton is in the Midlands, so slightly nearer Cheshire than Kent.

I have a John B Ingram born c1845 who married a Mary A ?. I am trying to locate their marriage but where to start.. He was born Cheshire, she was born Kent, and they lived in Berkshire when they were married (1881), 10 years prior he was living with his mum so they would have been married (if they did of course!) between 1871 and 1881 ... their first child was born 1875 .. so on this assumption it would narrow it down to between 1871 and 1875.

Do you think it will be wise to get all the marriage certs or is there a solution? as I am still waiting on a birth cert (although I dont need it, it is just for my records) that I ordered about 3 weeks ago!

Many thanks
