I have received a copy of the original marriage certificate of my G G Grandparents today. I have had big problems finding any info on the bride's family and thought this certificate would help, but I just cannot decide if her name is the one I have been searching for. Is there anyone on here who is clever enough to be able to read old writing please. M. |

I could have a go for you if you look. I did a degree in history so am fairly used to deciphering old texts. Cant promise anything though!! Lindsey |

Me too, could four heads be better than one? See if we come up with the same answer, or a majority at least. |
