There are TWO males and only ONE female on the page - one female is missing. That will be the lady to whom Henry was married

The marriage has not been included in the Parish records on Ancestry - so the cert is the only answer to finding the lady's names

Thankyou again Reggie and Ann, just gone back over the info supplied, and it has helped out a lot:)
I have a picture of George in uniform, and I am trying to find out where and when he served and in which unit. Interested in the job description as a kitchen hand, and wondering if he was a cook in the army.
I have been trying to find all of his children, and perhaps find a distant cousin who can tell me more, and to get a timeline on when/if he served etc.
I think I have found his grandparents...
Thomas and Elizabeth.
