help finding a marriage....completed!
« on: Sunday 11 November 07 22:10 UTC (UK) »
completed!

i wonder if anyone can help -

i have found some of my family: agnes, eleanor and Harold Westwell b. 1914, 1915, 1918 respectively and i am trying to find a marriage for any of these three people.  They were all born in Blackburn to James Westwell and Ellen Sheridan.

i have looked and looked but to no avail - maybe they didn't marry or the indexes are not transcribed?

Or maybe it is too recent!!

any help would be appreciated

   Hi Sara.....

  No the marriages online are indexed with some marriages around 1920 after that you have to search each quarter.

Best start point from the age of 20 and search onwards from there. The name is not that common so they should show up clearly..unlike a Smith or Collins anyway.

Hi Tazzie, not sure exactly what you mean by searching each quarter - is this on ancestry or in the archives?
