Vera Bainbridge - marriage
« on: Sunday 24 January 16 03:57 GMT (UK) »
G'day

I believe that Vera Bainbridge married a someone Baker in 1939. I came to this conclusion as the 1939 register shows a Vera Baker [the right age] residing in Durham with George T A & Edith Bainbridge [my Vera's mother and father]. Durham County Council online records have a marriage for a Vera Bainbridge in 1939 but there are only two other names cited on that page and neither is a Baker. A search of the usual suspects [Free BMD & Find My Past] has proved fruitless. Any ideas, other than purchasing the certificate?

The 1939 National Register was continually updated until 1990.
It will reflect any changes in name - even those after 1939!

So this marriage fits:

September qtr 1944
Durham South East Registration District     vol 10a, page 257

Bainbridge, Vera
Baker, Alexander
Garrad (Suffolk, Essex, Somerset), Crocker (Somerset), Vanstone (Devon, Jersey), Sims (Wiltshire), Bridger (Kent)
