It's absolutely amazing that you guys/gals have found him so quickly. I spent all last evening using my credits going round the houses. I didn't know there was a free bmd site. Thanks a lot. This is my husband's line and I am waiting for my father's birth certificate to go back on that line. I'll have to get your help again. Many thanks.

I'm starting from the birth cert. of his second child (that's where I got the Gladstone from). His wife's name was Laura Bertha and she died in 1935 age 65 so I make the assumption she was born in 1870. I thought if I found the marriage cert. I would get his wife's maiden name, his date of birth and also his father's name. Nothing shows on the 1901 census - I tried that first.

I am trying to find a marriage date for an Edward Gladstone Clarke (unusual middle name) who had a second child in 1902. I've searched 1899, 1898 and 1897 so far. Am I going about it the right way? I do know his wife was born in 1870 so is it just a matter of being systematic from about 1888 onwards. Help appreciated.
