Thurlaston Baptist marriage look-up Woodward/Harvey 1918
« on: Tuesday 15 March 16 11:28 GMT (UK) »
I would be very grateful if anyone was able to look up a marriage for me. I would normally do it myself, but unfortunately am not in a position to at present, and I have promised a little biography for a war memorial charity. I just lack one bit.

George Ernest Woodward and Florence Harvey married in the Blaby reg. district in the June quarter of 1918, just a few weeks before George was killed on the Western Front. Since both families were Baptists and Florence was literally the "girl next door", I think it very likely that they married in Thurlaston Baptist chapel. Certainly parents and widow were buried there.

Thanks CaroleW. It is really just the specific place of marriage that I'm lacking, but it was kind of you to look into it.
