Marriage of Harold Berry
« on: Sunday 24 July 16 03:59 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have access to Yorkshire Quaker records? I'm looking for the marriage of my uncle Harold Berry. (b.1911, Leeds and d.1940, Leeds) His father's name was Harry. There are two possible marriages in the YorkshireBMD records.

1932 BERRY Harold / HAWKRIDGE Ellen Quaker Meeting House Leeds QUAK/5/10
1933 BERRY Harold / WELSH Winifred Leeds South Registered Building Leeds SOUTHRB/12/81

On the assumption that he would have been an Anglican, (at least nominally) i bought the certificate for the Winifred Welsh marriage. This turned out to be the incorrect marriage.

The Hawkridge marriage is the only other possibility unless my uncle married further afield than Leeds.
Thanks for any help. PeterB

Have you looked at the 1939 register on FindMyPast?  Are you sure your uncle married?
What was his mother's name?  This will help you do a basic search on the 1939 register.

Is there any history of Quaker marriages in your family?

A copy of his death cert may give you some information as to his marital status.  If his wife reported his death then you would have a name to work from
