Edmund & Martha Milward, Pershore, Worcs c1850

[Nimchimpsky]

Hi Everyone

I have an issue with regards to Martha Milward, wife of Edmund Milward, who were born and lived in Pershore, Worcs in the later 1800's.
Edmund was born in 1850. Martha (his wife) was born (depending on which census is accurate) between 1852-54 ... both of them, as previously stated, born in Pershore ... however ...

I just cannot find a marriage record for their marriage or what Martha's maiden name was? They married sometime between 1871-1881 ... Pershore would be the logical place but there's no guarantee on that.

My usual reliable source has let me down, could any kind person 'fill in the missing gaps' please.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind Regards
Nimchimpsky

Thank you Twinkles (and Amber).

Brilliant information ... I did see a possibility of her name being Blizard and I'm really excited that it is Blizard because a brother of Edmund married a Blizard ... now I can put on the 'detective hat' and try and find the 'Blizard link' between the wives of the two Milward brothers.

Many thanks again for your great help.

Kind Regards
