Marriage in Bombay 1928
« on: Wednesday 07 March 12 16:12 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find out information regarding the marriage of Francis S Reid to Dorothy M Lecky in Bombay 1928 GRO Index Army marriages 1881-1955. I think this person could be Francis short Reid born Bathgate West Lothian Scotland in 1907. Can anybody shed any light on this marraige or point me in the right direction.   

Thanks

John

Hi John,

This is the marriage record from FamilySearch updated site -

parents: George Whyte Reid

spouse: Dorothy Muriel Leeky
 
groom's name: Francis Smith Reid
groom's birth date: 1900
groom's age: 28
bride's name: Dorothy Muriel Leeky
bride's birth date: 1901
bride's age: 27
marriage date: 17 Mar 1928
marriage place: Bombay, Bombay, India
groom's father's name: George Whyte Reid
bride's father's name: Robert St.Clair Leeky

It seems that Lecky became Leeky. This could have been either a clerical error at the ceremony, or at the transcription stage on FamilySearch. I'm inclined to go for the latter after seeing some of the "wonderful" transcriptions on their site!
