The Lighter Side / Re: Marriages reported in newspapers
« on: Sunday 19 July 20 10:33 BST (UK) »
Thank you again for the replies.
The marriage I was looking for more information on is September quarter 1941 in West Ham, Essex. Her name is Gertrude Durrant and she married Charles Fox. I was hoping his parents would be named and also I would love a photograph.( I understand people cannot post photographs from earlier replies to my query.)
Ilive near Blackpool so at a distance to investigate myself which is why I have asked how I might proceed. I do have access to The Genealogist website and for a couple of weeks I also have access to Ancestry Premium membership. My membership finishes in August. I couldn't find anything in my searches.
Again, many thanks for any help you can give. Just point me in the right direction!

Thank you for the replies. Can I ask another question relating to the first? If I live at a distance from the area the wedding took place, how would you trace the report for the wedding? Would it be local libraries? Would it be a google search (local library near....?)
Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Just interested. When did marriages start to be reported in newspapers? Not the wealthy or well known people, but ordinary everyday people, when did they appear in local papers? For example, a marriage in early 1940's would it be likely to have photographs of bride and groom, or just their names and dates?
Thank you in advance.
