Thanks Sandi + Angela, I checked freeBMD with no luck either. I can only hope that these records are incomplete and I'll have better luck at the records centre. My granny (who is 95 today and sharp as a cookie) is sure the information is right. Cheers, Karen |

Hi Karen I'm not an expert at looking things up, but do have an Ancestry subscription (one off - would not repeat as I am disappointed with coverage given the cost). I searched on both William Clrke and Edna Yardy. I could not find much - an entry for a William Clarke marriage in 1892 Hoxne Norfolk/Suffolk, but nothing on spouses name. Also a record of death of an Edna Yardy on 14 March 1913 in Doncaster South Yorks - no further details. Nothing for the marriage date you mentioned. To be honest, I don't find Ancestry any better than freebmd for looking up births marriages and deaths - it uses the same info as freebmd I think. I could not see much else on site for these names. Maybe someone else might have better luck. Angela |

Ancestry has the same data as freebmd. You would be better buying some credits on 1837 Online. This has all the indexes up to 2001. |

Just wondered if anyone could help. I'm in my final stages of research before taking the plunge with the Ancestry trial and wondered if anyone could do a look up for me. Can't find my great-granny's marriage registered on 1837online and wanted to see if it's on Ancestry before taking a trip to the records centre to get the index numbers. Details are: William Bales Clarke married Sarah Edna Allen Yardy xmas 1907. Probably Norfolk - Norwich, St benedict ?? Will be most grateful if anone can help. Thanks Karen. |
