	I've got an Ernest Lawrence who married in Sept qtr 1930 Portsmouth and it looks like to a Gaskin but when I try to reverse it to get her Christian name, it doesn't come up. Can somebody check to see if it is Gaskin Thanks

	Cissie E Gaskin 2b 1364 Sep qtr 1930 I just selected the year and first letter of the surname,sometimes the ancestry software can't read the first/last names of the page. Glen

	Sept 1930 Ernest W Lawrence married Gaskin, Portsmouth Cissie E Gaskin married Lawrence, (page mistranscribed as ending Gaskill, I put in Gas* and looked at the page that came up expecting to have to scroll throught to the next page.)
