Marriage of William Ernest Downes.
« on: Wednesday 18 August 21 17:36 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help with the marriage of William Ernest Downes to Ruth W Prowse. Think they married between 1935 and 1949 in Guernsey. Also need help with the birth of two of their children J and J who were born in Guernsey. They moved to Wiltshire around 1948/9
Any help with this family would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Are the children likely to be still living as if so you should remove their names.

ADDED
Daughter appears on electoral registers, can't see a death on GRO, have not looked for son.

It looks as though the index to marriages to 1966 is not yet digitised. (It’s on Microfilm). So perhaps one of the links here might take you to someone who could look for you?
