The Common Room / BARTLETT/WILLS - marriage certificate difficulties
« on: Sunday 20 September 09 13:36 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Have spent months trying to find the marriage of my Gt. Grandparents Caroline Bartlett and John Wills. Perhaps someone out there can help!
John Wills was born in Yeovil abt. 1855 but was living in Leigh, Dorset in 1881. Caroline was born in Batcombe, Dorset around 1863/5. There are no parish baptismal records for Batcombe for the years 1864 & 1865 (just my luck!) and no marriage records for Leigh, Dorset where her family were living in 1881. John and Caroline's first child, Frederick, was born abt. 1886 and is shown as being born in Leigh (1891 Census) and sometimes in Yeovil (1881 Census)!!!
Would appreciate some help. Any ideas?
