If you know of any kids, then their mother's maiden name will be in the GRO birth indexes.
Otherwise, it's a manual search of the indexes, which, after 1911 or so will show partner's surname.

Thanks Pauline.   I will take a look.
I have a rough idea of the maiden name. I know it's sounds strange, but I want to try and prove my self wrong in this case. I knew this couple when i was a child and often sat and ate tea and cakes with them. They both died a few years back. Now I can't belive that Ann may be the missing link of a family tree I am doing !  Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked
Hope that does'nt sound double dutch  Grin Grin Grin Grin

Found it  Smiley Smiley
James Christie married Anne carroll
Oct quarter 1923
bridgnorth district

I have been searching for info on Ann carroll for about 5 years now - and she turns out to be the woman I used to sit and eat tea and cakes with when I was a small child !

I thought really hard this morning and tried to reach way back in my mind ( hard work - bearing in mind a lot of early memory was erased when I had my head injury 10 years ago !) and suddenley remembered  the excitement of  a 50th wedding anniversary way, way back in my mind. So just searched 1920 to 1925 and hey presto there is was  listed in 1923 !

So the moral of the story is - think hard for any snippet you can remember - it might just be the "axe" to break the brick wall !
