Hello

Apologies for not replying earlier. I have pasted this on another osting.

Its intense at work currently  .. as I have 3 weeks off after this week  so hope to get time to review all the fantastic replies.  I have booked in for Dudley archives next week so hope to catch up on local research possibly for Hudson and Smart.

Once I have looked I will get back to you all.

Thanks again

Andy

Exactly !! But I have had fantastic help on Roots Chat  and next week visiting Dudley, Netherton and Kingswinford...lets hope maybe its good news on certificate and maybe off to a church they were married at or family connection at a church...sure you know what I mean ha ha

[Andy D]

early ones didn't include fathers and just gave the age as 'Full'

Marriage was 1854.  Whilst age may be shown as "full" fathers names were included on marriage certs from 1.7.1837

I have the marriage certificate and John is listed as 21 and Mary Ann 20 on what looks like 27th November 1854 which was a Monday

Hello

After a few frantic replies to all...I am taking stock now.

I am leaving Leighton Buzzard and travelling to Brierley Hill in the morning.

Would all my educated friends who have assisted me suggest a visit to Dudley Record Office? I have a week to get some research done in the area, with a few non history trips planned though you have a fantastic area.

Or to St Thomas Church?  I am frantically looking at all that has been suggested and trying to work out an action plan....don't multi task I am sure my female friends who have assisted me regarding this to date are far much better ha ha.

Listen to any advice please.

Thanks again for all your help.

Regards

Andy
