I have found the births of Gilian, Susan, Margaret, Wendy COBB all born in Bury St. Edmunds between 1947 and 1954 to Nellie (nee Savage) and Reginald COBB. Is there any way I can find any of their marriages other than trawling through all the records? Any advice would be invaluable.
Thank you.
Janet

What county is Bury St edmunds in? Not a guarantee but at least one would have married there I should think.
EDIT Jonesey - no middle initials, curses! And this place seems top cover several counties, curses again.

Bury st Edmunds is in Suffolk and the births were registered there so I guess you're right that at least one of them could have married there.
