Hi,
is it possible that someone could find the following marriage for me?I've looked everywhere that's accessible by me and can't find it.
Sarah TIMMS-born about 1854 to an A.E WILSON.
This marriage will have taken place between 1904 and 1917 inclusive ,very possibly in Marston Moretaine church as they both lived in Upper Shelton.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi Trisha,
I have checked every quarter from 1904 - 1917 on 1837 onlineand cannot find
Sarah Timms marriage at the place expected.
There are a number of Sarah Timms at different locations which I will let you know if you wish.
I suppose it's possible it was outside these dates (presume from ages it wasn't first marriage) or name could have been wrongly subscribed
Let me know if I can do any follow up
Regards

Hi Sandy,
thanks for looking.I'll tell you what this has all arisen from.
I have a relative called Sarah TIMMS,nee FINDING.Her husband Joseph died in 1904.One of her sons was called Francis James(Frank)Timms.He was born in 1895/6.They all lived in Upper Shelton,near Marston Moretaine.On the Commonwealth war graves site there is mentioned the death of a Francis James Harrold TIMMS in 1917,the son of a Mrs A.E .WILSON of Upper Shelton.Sarah TIMMS' eldest daughter,also called Sarah FINDING(she was illegitimate),born about 1875, married a Thomas WILSON.Hence the seeming connection.I wondered if the elder Sarah had married someone from the same family?
Clear as mud-lol.
Does that help any for you to perhaps do a follow up look or not?
Best wishes,
Trisha
