Looking for an elusive Marriage in Stoke on Trent around 1915-1920
« on: Sunday 17 June 18 16:45 BST (UK) »
Hi.:)
I'm looking for a marriage of a (male) YORKE to a (female) GRICE which might have been in Stoke on Trent somewhere between say 1915-1920.   
I have 2 male Yorke children from this marriage listed on FreeBMD, which both give the mother's surname as Grice (one in 1920, another in 1921), but there are no likely marriages listed in the years before that.
I've checked the 1939 Census for the Yorke boys, but they were in the forces, so there's no lead there.
Has anyone got any bright ideas about where else I could look to track the parents down (aside from sending for copy birth certificates of course)??
TIA
Aitch :)

You haven't given any Christian names, the nearest to 1915 I can find is YORK to GRICE  1907 Leicestershire, would be more helpful if you were to give the Christian names of the parents where possible

How about looking on 1911

Thanks for your response Louisa.
I'm afraid I don't know either of the parent's Christian names - (apparently there's some mystery around them as their son wouldn't ever talk about them), otherwise the 1911 would have been a good shout.

Good luck
