the freebmd record for Mildred is definitely 132A. There are 2 versions of the original images, the 2nd one (again a handwritten addition) is fairly clear.

The spouse name is written Bowmer or Bowrner ( I would go for the 1st one)

both images for Frank say Bowmer - it definitely starts Bow as otherwise it would be very much out of sequence on the entries, the page it is handwritten on is all Bow...

Thank you all for trying I'm sure the record I want is missing. I knew the family and the children I went to school with them just wanted the marriage record to add to the other records so I can give it to them a surprise gift.
I don't have the top membership on ANCESTRY so cannot access other records get a padlock when I try :-(

Looks like the corresponding entry for Mildred hasnt been done

Frank Bourner spouse Harwood Battle 2b 732A has been added by hand to the bottom of the alpha page listing.Dec qtr 1934

Its very poor handwriting ! the 7 could also be a 1 but looks to me like a 7 because its slanted .

You may have to order without the GRO ref or get from the local register office

I'm looking for the marriage record for Frank Bourner and Mildred Harwood.
I'm pretty sure they married in 1934 ( first child born 1935 and the others followed in quick succession) when I access the records for that year I keep getting blank pages or just jumbled letters and numbers. Have checked the previous years no problems is it me or is this year not available?
