Ancestry has all England/Wales bmd's.....free to anyone who registers with the site. This is the address for marriages.........(omit brackets) http://www.ancestry(.)co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8965 The bride's surname will be recorded on the groom's entry.....you can cross-refer the entries to ascertain her forename(s). Reg

Does it give recent ones? Could anyone look it up please as don`t want to give over card details? Kenneth Graham dob-1920 , parents David and Margaret , married about 1940`s in Salford or should I not put it incase he`s still alive --don`t think he is, Ros

Hi Ros Do you know where Staincross is? reg number 9c Gerri found out its yorks...oops will keep looking a bit longer..

You don't have to give card details to access the BMDs.

I've found these - might they be any good? Kenneth Graham m Smith Staincross 9c 780 Mar 1940 Kenneth Graham m Callaghan Crosby 8b 1573 Sep 1941 Kenneth Graham m Thomas Crosby 8b 1195 Sep 1942 Kenneth A Graham n Webb Heywood 8c 1082 Jun 1944

As I stated earlier, all bmd's are FREE on Ancestry...............you only have to register. You can't have tried using the web address I posted, or you would know that there is no requirement to give any card details............ Reg

Found this one.. Kenneth A. Graham 1944 Q2 Heywood<<< (this is manchester) 8c-1082 married Dora Webb

..and this one... 1947 Q2 Manchester 10e-1011 married Annie Barlow

Thanks everyone--will study them all, Ros

Just been told by my mother --he married a Joan --so back to drawing board, Ros

I've said this before, but want to say it again! Reg seems to be the only person who tries to get people to look up things for themselves. Surely it's better for them to look up themselves when it's free and easily accessible!

I must have pressed wrong buttons as it asked for card details --will try again, Ros

Anne , as I don`t have many relatives in England I`m used to Scotlandspeople and have not had to use Ancestry before. I`ve done searches for people on there using my paid for credits which I don`t mind doing, Ros

Ros I wasn't having a go at you, honest! Just a general comment that someone, in this case Reg, explains how to do it yourself, then other people just do the search. I think if someone has explained how to do it, then that should stand as the answer to the question.

okay
