St Mary's Kidderminster Look up request
« on: Friday 11 December 15 17:28 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has access to the MARRIAGE records for St Mary's at KIDDERMINSTER, please?

I am looking for the exact dates for the SIMPKISS families below:

•   Mary Theodosia Simpkiss to Frederick Holland, between Oct-Dec 1896
•   Edwin Thomas Simpkiss to Mary Ann Taylor, between April-Jun 1897 
•   William Taylor Simpkiss to Lucy Turner, between April-June 1902
•   John Arthur Simpkiss to Louisa Jane Price, Oct-Dec 1903.

Thank you very much
Anna

Wow, Thank you so much.
I greatly appreciate you taking the time out to look up these marriages for me.

I have to assume that although the Marriage Index says John Arthur was married at Kidderminster, it wasn't at St Mary's.

Even so it's wonderful to get the other marriages, so thank you so much.
God Bless you
