I am looking for the marriage details of Thomas Wood.
Thomas was born in Enfield Middlesex abt 1871 at the age of 18 he joined the "Royal Irish Fusiliers" in 1892 & 1894 he was in Kilkenny Ireland and 1893 & 1894 in Waterford, from the 1911 census I have found that his wife is called Katherine birth year 1873 and birthplace Kilkenny Ireland, they have been married for 17 years which takes us back to his time in Ireland.
In 1911 Thomas and family are living in Sheerness Kent.
Appricate any help with finding his marriage details.

Thank you PigletsPal.

Could be the marriage, I know from his Army records that he was in Cork during 1895 and not sure where "Whitechapel" might fit in but I will look at the 1901 Census to see if that might help.
Thanks safc
