Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Berry marriage
« on: Saturday 15 August 20 15:07 BST (UK) »
My uncle, Harold Berry, was born in Leeds in 1911. His parents were Harry Berry and Lily Stringer, who were married in 1910, at St Edmund, Leeds.
Harold died in 1940, aged 28. I believe that he was married, but do not know to whom. The only evidence that seems to exist within the family is a couple of photographs. One is of my father and my uncle on my father's wedding day (Sept. 1939) and the other, taken the same day, of the two brothers with a woman and two small children.
There are two marriages registered in Leeds that could have possibly been his, in 1932 and 1933. I can discount the later one. The 1932 marriage is between Harold Berry and Ellen Hawkridge, at the Quaker Meeting House. Does anyone have access to the marriage registers for the Leeds Quakers?
Details of the St Edmund's marriage would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, PeterB
