Well I had a few credits left to use up and looked in marriages for WILLEMINA JOHANNA GEERTRUIDA FREDERIKSEN in all qtrs of 1919 and 1920 and the first 2 qtrs of 1921 with no joy. Have run out of credits now soz. Would suggest you either keep working forward from there looking under willeminas name as it's less common or that they possibly married in Holland before she came over. Good luck anyway. Sioux

On WorldConnect there's a Pieter Andries Frederiksen, who married Cornelia Sol, and they had Abraham in 1897 in Terneuzen. The person researching the tree is from the Netherlands. Might be a good idea to send him an email. pou at kabelfoon . nl Just don't include the spaces. And use the at symbol for 'at'. Chloe

Hi Lizz, It may help to get a copy of his birth certificate to see if she was married or not at the time of his birth. It might provide a better timescale. Nicky

Hi Nicky, I personally don`t have a copy of the birth certificate- but i have a photo given to me by a rellie of nannie and grandad on their wedding day. Grandad was in an Army uniform- i have tracked down the regiment he was in and have written to them and have had no reply and that was over a year ago. Lizz
