Good Afternoon,
I wonder if anyone can help me please I am trying to find the marriage of Edward McSorley. I have the following details ;
Edward was born in 1898 in County Tyrone.
He married someone called Jean (sorry don't know her surname) they lived in Manchester. Edward died 21/07/1958 in Manchester aged 60. His wife Jean died 1966 in Manchester, they had one son Robert that I know of also living in Machester. I applied for Jean's death certificate thinking it would give me her details but alas no. Would appreciate any help.
Cheers
Jean

Many many thanks I will check it out. Can I ask you if I order his birth cert. will it give his father's name also, reason I ask I live in Glasgow and Scottish certs give more info than English ones. Once again many thanks for your help. if only parents had told us more this would have been easier.
Cheers

English birth certs give the name of the Father and Mother's maiden name.

Good luck!

Vera is pointing out that the Robert born in 1919 probably belongs to the couple who's marriage she posted.

I'm not seeing a Mcsorley/Trundley marriage.
