A bigamous marriage
« on: Tuesday 31 October 06 13:57 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for the first marriage of Sidney Dilley. His second marriage was in 1935. He was born sometime between 1901 and 1906 (difficult to know his exact age since it's different on his second marriage certificate from his death certificate)

I'm having trouble searching the BMD pages on Ancestry.co.uk as some of them just won't load.

We know the second marriage was deffinitely bigamous since his first wife turned up at his funeral ::) ::) However, no one seems to have known her name and I'm trying to find out both Sidney's true age (hopefully on the first certificate marriage certificate) and any children resulting from the marriage.

His second marriage was in Islington but his first could have been anywhere.
Eaton (Woughton on the Green, Doncaster and N. London), Davis(Shinfield and London), Harrington (Ireland and London), Sutcliffe (Todmorden and London), Williams, Hollingsworth (Thaxted), Lane (Rotherhithe), Fuller (Chesterton, Cambs), Dilley (who knows where????)

If you are having dificulty in loading a page in Ancestory,  try searching for a name a bit further on alphabetically and then going back to previous page.  The usual problem is with the index where the last name recorded for a page is before the first name and so you cannot find your name on a page.
