hi
i don't have much experience of english marriages, i have found a birth in 1941 in hammersmith of dorothy a woodley, mother's maiden name bowley.
I am looking for the marriage between her parents but i can't see it on ancestry.
Does anyone know a better way of finding it?

Hi Caroline,
freebmd indexes aren't complete, so for later marriages I'm afraid it's a case of ploughing through the years on ancestry or findmypast quarter by quarter. How far back did you go? Do you know of any older siblings to give an idea of the marriage date?

ok
thanks i wasn't sure,
i looked 2 years back fom the birth certificate, i'll keep looking, there's no rush.
i know very little as it's not my family, i'm just trying to put together a family from an old album we are looking after. it was in my late uncles album which is why we have it as it has very old family photos in it. However, it also has a collection from his second wife who died young without children.. In the album is the letter informing a family that their son has died in ww1. This got my interest and i am trying to put together a family

thanks for taking the time to do that!
yes i have looked on the commonwealth site, from that i have found the little soldier in the 1901 census. I am just trying to work out which off his siblings is the link to the woman born in 1941.

don't worry, my late uncle's wife died awful young in her forties.
she had no children and the best we can hope for is that ther may be a relaitve in australia.
I was going backwards really
i'm addicted i think i'm desperate to research tis family, then hand it all over when my cousin finds the address of the relation in austra;ia

thanks barbara
the marriage was between may f bowley and charles b wodley. I'm trying to do the bowley's as i have them in 1901, i went on freebmd and may florence bowley was born in 1909 in paddington. its pretty likely that this is the same may bowley isn't it? i need to confirm her parents, if i order her birth certificate will this do that?

right, i ordered the birth certificate, i think that if that shows she is the daughter of the right couple then that will be enough proof that she goes on to be the mother of the lady who's album i have, i mean you wouldn't have another family's photos with 'mum' and garandad written onthem would you?
thanks caroline

Hi Barbara
The certificate came today, it is definetly the right family, it says mother elizabeth bowley formerly warner and father frederick william bowley. In 1901 elizabeth's unmarried sister was staying with the family so i know what her maiden name was
only problem is that the writing on the certificate is really faint, do you think i should say anything?
