Title: Marriage look up in Chelmsford
Post by: sylvia wells on Wednesday 10 October 18 16:42 BST (UK)

I would be grateful for any information on a marriage between James Bird and Mary Ann Smith.  I believe this is Mary Ann's second marriage.  I have a date of 24/08/1830 in Chelmsford.  Many thanks for any help. xxx
