Pember married Cocroft in New York and London? 1919

This looks like the place to order the 1945 marriage record. It deals with historical New York City marriage records. I don't know who might be qualified to order a historical record but the info is probably there somewhere.

There is various info on this linked page. The very first line says orders up to 1949 are made through DORIS. You click on the DORIS to get to the form.

Added: you have the certificate number from the index.

Another add: I don't know what parental info you would get from the record but it may be the only way forward at this point.

Thanks yes that is my best option at the moment

I was poking around in the website and it looks like anyone can order a historic marriage record (prior to 1950).

Yes I had a quick look as best i could and it also appears they take cards as payments too, thank goodness because I have no other way of paying!!

I will email them to find out what the process is, one of the other sites quoted above seemed into indicate you can only pay by cheque if you have to do it by post, very cumbersome.

Super find *Sandra*

I note from the links that there is a similar record related to Maud and gives the same address as that for Doris. It looks like they both might be unclaimed life insurance.

What a tangled web this is!

Looking through the Cocroft line for any clues but absolutely nothing so far.
