im trying to find a marriage date but unsure about how, Ethel Foxon ( brentnall) husband thomas foxon died 1925 coventry i know Ethel re married a Lucus but unsure of when Any tips would be recieved with man thanks

I'm afraid there is no easy way. The images of the marriage records are free online on ancestry, by quarter. Each after 1911/2 give the partner's surname as well as the registration reference, so you can find the matching entry. It's a case of ploughing through, but it's great when you find what you want. If a lady remarries, there may be entries under both her single and married names. Jim

Do you know the birth year of either one of the couple and do you know which area they got married in? Kath. x

Do you know how old he was when he died - it would give a better idea of when he may have married. Irene

Is it Ethel's second marriage that you are looking for? If so this is it:- Ethel Foxon, spouse Victor Lucas March qtr. 1927, Coventry, 6d, 826 (You just have to look in every qtr. of every year from the death of her first husband, looking for a marriage of Ethel Foxon to someone with the surname Lucas. The spouses name is given in the index after Sept. qtr. of 1911. You will find the index free to search on Ancestry.) Kath. x

ethel was born c 1894, i seem to have come to a full stop there, i know thomas foxon died 1925 in coventry as i have the roll of the fallen book coventry given to me by my father. But no info apart from the surname lucas her 2nd husband Thanks for all your replies i'll go hunting now

Is this first marriage? Marriages Jun 1914 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Billingham Sidney A Peters Coventry 6d 1420 Brentnall Ethel Foxon Coventry 6d 1420 FOXON Thomas Brentnall Coventry 6d 1420 PETERS Clara E Billingham Coventry 6d 1420 Jim

Nudged for Sharon. Hopefully if she sees the thread at the top of the page, it will save her looking for the two marriages. Kath. x

Just checking --- Death of Thomas FOXON Q1 1925 shows age as 33 place Coventry ref 6d 780. And second marriage is Ethel FOXON (no T) Jim

Thanks Jim.....that will teach me to read more carefully. The FoxTon / Lucas marriage is a bit of a coincidence though. Kath. x

Yes I guess so, though I've seen many examples of people in the same two families marrying. It does confuse the relationships somewhat. All the best Jim

Thanks Jim I'm still searching, not very good at this am I !!!??? thomas foxon was Ethels first husband i know my father had a half brother 'L lucas' as surnames are different so may be i am assuming she remarried 'lucas' after thomas died

Yes - see above to Victor Lucas - it was to Foxon not Foxton. Jim

Hi Jim, I've amended the name on the marriage I found. I apologise for not being careful enough with my typing. Think I'm ready for bed!! Have deleted the wrong death that I found, too. Kath. x

Jim & Kath A BIG Thankyou xxxxxxxxx
