Page Number: 377
Spouse
Name: Emma Goodman
Spouse Surname: Parker
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1918
Registration district: West Ham
Registration county (inferred): Essex
Volume Number: 4a
Page Number: 377
My MAIN search is seeking the parents names of William Henry Parker :
William Henry PARKER born 1892 in England.
He served in the B.E.F. WWI 1914-1918 in France and Belgium as a Driver. Units: #33448 in R.H. (Royal Horseman) and the R.F.A. (Royal Field Artillery). (I do have his medal card)
He married Emma Goodman in West Ham, Essex in 1918.
They immigrated in 1920 to Canada with their 1yr old son Harry.
He died Nov 29 1944 in Ontario, Canada.
Seeking surviving family members (if possible) of Emma's sister, May or any of the other siblings :
Emma Mae GOODMAN is the daughter of Charles Hillier GOODMAN and Florence MILTON.
Emma's siblings, Jessie Minnie, Charles, Florence, Margaret or May
Emma was born on Nov 9 1896 in Hackney, England, UK.
She died on May 8 1972 en route to London, England by air to visit her only surviving sister at the time, Mrs. Joseph (May) Brewer.
With the help of other forums, we are unable to locate William in the census with a birth year of 1892 in Sheffield England - Sheffield may not be correct? and England is so BIG and his name so common, it's like a needle in a hay stack! So I am hoping someone is able to pull parish records of their marriage and praying his parent's names are listed!!! I'm beginning to think he was an orphan!
Thank you!

You can order the marriage certificate on line from www.gro.gov.uk/
The Certificate will cost 7UK Pounds.
This will show his father's name and occupation. Also William's address and occupation.
Best of luck

The marriage certificate will hopefully show his father's name (mother's names were not recorded) - but more importantly for your search - it will tell you exactly where they were married - so presuming it was a church you can then narrow it down to those particular registers
West Ham is a registration district that covers a large number of suburbs - see
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/west%20ham.html
Within those suburbs there would be quite a number of different churches - so without knowing the particular parish - it will be very hard for people to look this up for you I would have thought
Good Luck
Sue

In 1918 the parish register and the marriage certificate should contain exactly the same information. This is true from 1837 onwards except in a few parishes which continued to use the old registers until they were full. In which cases the parish register contained less information.

Someone had advised me that the marriage certificate would not show the parents names but it would show witnesses and advised parish records would be more complete. I will order the certificate but I'd still appreciate someone looking into parish records for me.
