Hi can anyone help me ? i am trying to find the marriage of my aunt Joan Chapman born in Ackworth West Yorkshire on 29 AUG 1922 her parents were Thomas Chapman & Mary Ann Markey, I have sent for a few certs but when they get here the fathers name is not Thomas Chapman even though on the request form i put father Thomas Chapman, not only is it frustrating its the cost too. there must be a way to find the right cert without sending for them in the dark,
Thank you for any info / help
Best wishes
Graham
If you are ordering from the GRO and state a father's name then they should not send you a certificate with the wrong name on, they should instead return your fee
It was easy for people to go looking for details of Joan's parents from the way the post was worded, must admit I did the same
do you know where your aunt lived\ died and whether they had children as all these details could help
If you are a member of Ancestry you can look up deaths for a Joan born on 29 Aug 1922 and then try marrying them off to find which one was formally chapman. however it seems there are a lot more Joans around than I was expecting so I stopped on that one.
And of course its always possible she emigrated, unless you know otherwise
