FreeBMD doesnt go up the the 1950,s as yet .To find that time scale would mean going through each quarter for each year so a bit time consuming as 10 years would mean 40 seaches

hi there,
They didn't have any children and my mum thinks that they possibly married in the 1950s/60s nothing coming up on free bmd, am i right in tinking that bmd does not hold all the information. Please can someone look up for me Lucy Wood and ? Harrison. Many thanks
Thanks again
Ally

hi there,
for some reason, it won't show you the first name of the person. So i tried harrison then i put lucy wood in the second bit and it brought up 1932? and showed you wood, but you can't see the other name when you do it. I tried to put it in backwards, but it won't find it that way. Thanks for trying.

what year did you find it on FreeBMD if you click on the page it usually shows you the other names on the page plus the recirds do show the surname of the other party. I cant see on FreeBMD a Lucy Wood with a groom surname Harrison

Can someone find a marriage for me for a Lucy Wood and ? Harrison possibly in the 1930s please. Think i found it on free bmd, but it would let me put in the search the other way round, so couldn't work out if the female was Lucy Wood. They could be in Leeds, but the one on free bmd was for Derby. Suppose he could have come from there and she married there. Any help would be good. Don't have ancestry and the free look won't let me look.
Many thanks folks.
