PM is a persanal message that you send to a person by clicking on send message under their name, it means what you write will only be seen by that person.

PM = Private Message which you do by clicking on the 'send message' button under a poster's profile or their name on a thread.

You can also contact someone the same way if you find a connection on 'Search Trees'.

Most of the time when you ask for help, its better to reply on the thread so that everyone can follow and chip in.

Obviously, in this case, you are dealing with potentially living people so care must be taken not to spread their personal details all over the www.

GR is not a secure site from that point of view. Anything you post could be picked up in an internet search.

Your mums father should be listed on the marriage cert so his surname will be her maiden name

Where have you actually looked for the marraige?
do you have any idea where Geographically it might have taken place?
or when?
Any children from the marriage?

Andrea, if you want to PM me details I am happy to have a look- or if all relevant people are deceased, put names onto here and others can look too.

On my mum and dad's 1949 marriage certificate, it states that my mum was "formerly the wife of Norman White from whom she obtained a divorce"
I can find no record of this marriage in BDM records. Why might this be? and what can I do now? Is there any way I can find out about this marriage.
