@jonw65,

That's actually REALLY interesting. I have Thomas Harold on my list to investigate, and it does seem weird that if he was my great grandfather, living in Poole, Dorset, that he would have died in Weston S M... so he's definitely worth a good look at..

@avm228,  I say Raymond Charles because during my research, I found a Raymond Charles Webb died in 1955, born in 1892, and the only Raymond who died in 1955 in Raymond C... so I'm assuming Raymond C is Raymond Charles.  I'm also assuming Carey is a shortening of the name Charles.

Is there a way to find out who witnesses were at a marriage.?

[Girl Guide]

Unless you can find the marriage online somewhere, the only other option is to buy the certificate from the GRO.

@Girl Guide,  Thank you. I had to go find my Mum & Dad's marriage certificate to make sure the witnesses were on it, so will be ordering a copy of Thomas and Nellie's marriage certificate.

We love you Jen!

With the help of Dundee's quite brilliant work I think we might have cracked it.

@JenB, I was just looking through newspaper archives... Fantastic job.! 

I ordered the certificate anyway, but great to see there is a link and we have the right Thomas Webb.!

It's only taken 45 years across three branches of the family to track him down... and we did it.!! <3

My mother and grandmother are going to be delighted.
