I am looking for the marriage of my grandfather, Arthur Ernest Guy.  I don't know the name of the lady he married (she wasnt my grandmother) but the family story goes that he abandoned a wife and 2 sons in Gloucestershire and lived with my grandmother.  He was born in 1891 in London, father Frederick Guy, mother Sarah Ellen (nee Rouse).  The marriage I have found was to Priscilla P Trigg, Gloucester 6a 677.  Can I find out his father's name without getting the  certificate (already have certificates for the wrong Arthur Guy), and can I tell if there were 2 sons without trawling through the birth indexes, especially as i dont know names.
thanks
Diane

Hi

Re: marriage.  You can put a condition on your application for that particular marriage cert to the effect that you only want it if the grooms fathers name was Frederick.  If it is the wrong one, the GRO will only charge you a search fee of approx £3.  If you apply directly to Gloucester Registrars Office with the same condition attached, I don't think they charge any fee if it is the wrong entry - but check that out first just in case

Births from mid-1911 show the mothers maiden name alongside.  If he did marry Priscilla Twigg then it will be easier to trawl the birth indexes and identify any children

Thanks Bryant.  I think i found those, and it is spooky because my grandmother's name was winifred beatrice. I will look a bit further.
