Found my Reardon marriage - 1912 to Arthur H CRAFT. Only 12 years of 1837 looking for a Reardon in the right area then checking against all the Craft/Croft records for the same quarter. Then I find it in 912 and the spouses name is there first up. Will work backwards next time. Anyway, just wanted to say another thanks to those who helped me. Peter in Auckland NZ where it is hot and sunny I wish people wouldn't change the spelling of their names - it's back to Krafft for their children.

Jolly good.. I've put my halo straight now ;)

Sammy - You are another Angel They are the lot I am investigating - I just have so many (spent the weekend doing all the deaths in 1837 from 1837 to 1960.....have most of the births too, and am working on the marriages). And I'm not sure that they are even mine - I have to make a connection between two branches in Essex in 1820 - when the film gets to the LDS. Only the Reardon Marriage to find - she must have wed either Ernest or Arthur

Jess - YOU ARE AN ANGEL !!!!!!!! I had missed teh DEU subject on the Richmond one, which means he isn't in my lot. But I still can't find my William Alfred in 1901. I have him in 1891 in Camberwell. Now to find a marriage between a Krafft and a Reardon. Have scoured 1837. Peter

William Alfred Krafft married Sep Q 1904 in Fulham. From Free BMD I would guess that his bride was Emily Lillian Wallace - there are children born 'mother Wallace' in 1912 and 1914. Emily L Krafft died Camberwell 1962 aged 79, William A died 1952 Camberwell aged 75. This makes William A b about 1877. Trouble is - I can't find him on the 1901 census. There is a William Krafft in Richmond 1901, but he is married to Emma (Gray) and they were having children in 1913 and 1915. Any ideas? Peter
