Marriage lookup
« on: Wednesday 15 August 18 20:40 BST (UK) »
Hi looking for help on a marriage lookup in walthemstow

I have a Sydney Stoker b 1888c who was married to a Margaret brown b 1888c

We have looked high and low for a marriage register with no luck.

We are almost sure they did marry as on his army records its saying details very hard to read though, what we have made out is
Wife Margaret brown.  Married we think it says 8/11/1915 St James the great walthemstow. Victor can't read the name. Witnesses Joseph brown  can't. Read the other.

Sidney was in the forces at time.

Just can't understand why I can't find a marriage reg

Any help would be great

Thanks
Sue

Dec 1915 West Ham 4a 632
Brown, Margaret - spouse Stokes
Stokes, Sidney - spouse Brown

If it was at Walthamstow St James it should be available on SEAX.
Hope someone can help.

Thankyou for that you would not believe how long we have been looking. All because it was Stokes instead of stoker 😂

Thanks

Thank you for the look up, Jebber. Very kind of you.
And good to know that the name was actually written as Stoker!
