Just popping in to say good morning to everyone. Lovely and sunny here at the moment and the birds singing away merrily.

Hope you are all doing well.

The wedding seems to appear in the Uxbridge & W. Drayton Gazette - 20 December 1902.  Frustratingly I don't think the search took me to the right page of the newspaper.  This is what search result looked like:

"Wednesday attern eca between Miss Martha ritaceyeecond daughter of Mr. Frederick Stacey. of Mead Road, U l . bridge. and Mr. Charles ticereshrook Waterloo Road. Uxbridge. The orrenony was performed by the Rev. Corry. of Haye k The bride was gives. away"

On page 5 of the Middlesex & Buckinghamshire Advertiser of the same date there is a snippet about a gift given to Martha on the occasion of her marriage by the Sunday school.  The search attributes this to Uxbridge & W. Drayton Gazette - London, London, England as well but the actual newspaper in the scan is as the advertiser as stated above.

Something a bit amiss with the searches and the scans I think.

Anyway BNA may be better so hopefully this is enough to take you to the right newspaper/article using that search facility.

Good luck,

P.S FOUND IT - page 8 of the Middlesex & Buckinghamshire Advertiser - Wedding at Uxbridge, The Old Meeting House - last Wednesday so 17 December 1902!  If you need anymore just let me know.

I wonder if his apprenticeship records may have survived. This link to NRM gives some advice that may help.

It mentions rolls of honour for those employees lost in WW1, I wonder whether James appears on these perhaps with additional information.
