Army marriage 1918
« on: Saturday 15 January 11 21:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi please can any one help me?. My grandfather was born and bred in Berkshire and lived all he life there. He was in the royal berks regiment in the world war one. According to first marriage certificate he got married on the 30th November 1918 in Builth Wells, Mid Wales and married my grandmother who can from Gibraltar and they had no connection with Wales! Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks Sheila
