Hi Trish,
Thanks for the information, most of it was known to me but there's always something extra that turn up!
It was the Jersey marriage that I've had problems finding, it seem's that the Jersey records
can't be accessed or is me looking ine wrong place?
Thanks again,
Mike

Regards,
Mike

Hi Stewart
Just read the information you posted, so sorry for not thanking you before.
I was so pleased to get the time and place of the marriage, I was beginning to doubt if it really
happened...
Thanks again,
MIke
