Re: Marriage of William Birchall 1883-1964 and Lily Sinclair 1902

I am trying to establish whether the above were in fact married. William is my grand uncle and they appear to have had about 9 children. One in 1920 was William Wilde Birchall, Wilde being the surname of his grandmother, so I am sure that I have the right family. However, I do not seem to be able to find a marriage, anywhere. Perhaps someone could confirm that I am correct or the marriage details. There seems to be a wide difference in their ages, so maybe a marriage was frowned on by her parents. a mystery, I would like to solve.

Hi
A little more information may help us please. Do you think that if they were married it would have been in the Durham area and is the 1902 the potential year of marriage? Do you know if Lily's surname of Sinclair is her maiden name or a previous name. What are Lily's years of life? What names are on any of the children's birth certificates re the parents surnames?
Thanks

I think 1902 is the year of Lily's birth.

In that case she can't have been born in 1902!
