many thanks  I am going to believe that the marriage date is correct. not so sure about D.O.B  also the date of death is not correct as I know  uncle Bury as I knew him died before my Aunt (1985) the marriage cert when I get it may have some clues for me to follow
many many thanks again. I hope this line I am going to go down will yeald some imformation on my granddad.

Hi Ann

I agree that the marriage looks the most likely match for your uncle.

I "flung in" the others in case they are related - no extra charge, lol!

Let us know when the cert arrives, if you need any more assistance.

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)
