Hi I have just been searching on the find my past site and I thought I had found the marriage I was looking for. Should they have the same code. 1918 Maggie William Married Jones in Carnarvan oct nov dec 11 B 691 Richard Jones married Williams in Carnavon oct no dec 11 B 692 Shouln't they have the same code?

They will be on the same page if they married each other. Try looking at the actual image, it may be a transcription error. You can view them for free via FreeBMD or this Ancestry link (take out brackets) http://www.ancestry(.)co(.)uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx

They would usually have the same code, but it could just be a mistranscription. I'll have a look on Ancestry. Back shortly. UPDATE - The Jones image isn't very clear on Ancestry, but it does look like 692 with the Williams image being 691. Kath. x

Thank everyone I have got the images saved so i'll check the numbers. Thanks for letting me know they have got to have the same code. Beverley

What do you think Kathleen I,ve just looked again and they do look like a 1 & 2.

He married Mary.. Marriage Dec 1918 Williams Mary Jones Carnarvon 11b 692 Marriage Dec 1918 Jones Robert G Williams Carnarvon 11b 691 Are you looking for Richard or Maggie or both together?

Hi Tracy I'm trying to find the marriage of Richard Henry Jones & Maggie Williams. Maggie was born 1895 her oldest son was born 1922c. I have worked my way back from there. The earliest Maggie could of been married is 1916c. It has to be Carnarvan as she is on the census and I know her first three children where born there. Thanks Beverley

If you are looking for the marriage of Richard HENRY Jones, then I don't think the one you have found is correct, as there is no middle initial. Surely if Maggie was born 1895, then she could have married anytime from about 1911. (in theory she could have married any time from 1907 when she was 12 but I doubt that she did). Kath. x

Match 1 Marriage Dec 1919 Williams Margaret A Jones Richard B Bangor 11b 991 I can't find any other matches for Richard Jones and Margaret/Maggie Williams.

Hi Kath Yes I know what you mean, but just searching the more likeley years as it is a bit like a needle in a haystack. I wasn't to concerned about the initial not being there because they don't always put there middle name on marriage certificates. Its just a bit frustrating following my welsh roots. Maggie was a Williams and married a Jones, my fathers is a Jones and I married a Williams. I will have to bar my children from marrying Jones's or Williams Thanks for your help

Thank You Tracy I will have to think a bit more on how i'm going to persue this. Much appriciated

Have you got the birth cert of any of the children of the marriage? If not, I think you would be well advised to obtain one of them, to clarify the names of the parents. Reg
