« on: Thursday 03 September 09 21:13 BST (UK) »
hi
     I'm been looking for the marriage of henry reardon  born 1844 isle of wight then lived in cornwall.i found one marriage in 1873 neath to Elizabeth Anne hughes. if this is right Ive traced her back to cornwall and found that henry and Elizabeths daughter annie married thomas hughes elizabeths newphew which would make them 1st cousins i think is this legal?
