I am looking for information on my G Grandparents James KIDMAN and wife Louisa KIDMAN- where and when they were married and their deaths. I know they had a son Percy (my Grandfather)
Any information will be very much appreciated

When was Percy born

When were they born? If you know Percy's date of birth you can use the GRO site to find his mother's maiden name and that might help find a marriage.

When was Percy born
From the 1881 census he was 32 so, around 1849 birthplace Hinxworth, Hertford Louisa was 34 in census born about 1847 Biggleswade

I presume you mean James was 32
James Kidman 32 bn Hinxworth, Hertfordshire
Louisa 34 bn Biggleswade, Bedfordshire
Percy 5 bn Dunton, Bedfordshire, England

You can check the GRO index on freebmd to see if the Percy that married Gertrude had a middle name https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

The Percy does give the middle name Charles but when I checked earlier and put in Gertrude there was no record.

Using freebmd I just selected Marriages - no dates or places
Surname Partridge
Spouse Kidman
It brought up 3 results your couple being one of them ;)

Thanks for explaining I do feel silly at times.

No need to feel silly, sometimes these search engines are better with less information especially when you have more unusual names.

Found this very interesting.Seems the effects were left to two of his sons. Would his wife Louisa have stayed on at the farm? She died in 1930.
-
They were the executors of the will, not necessarily the benefactors ;)

Thanks once again for clearing things up.
I would probably get my ancestors on Ancestry (Free at library) but the computers at my local library have been down for a while now.
