Will send you an address for a person who might be the 1956 daughter. You could write and see if she is, and if she is willing to share information,

You could also use the search all member trees function for the parents and children on this site, and send a message to any tree owner who might list them.

I really don't know anymore details, deceased or not.
Other than the names James Bede and wife Vella, she was from Malta James was from Ireland and was in the Navy.
I think I have found James birth in Carlow Ireland in 1916 on Familysearch and a death for Carmela Bede in 1993 in Elstree, which is the right family.
Thanks for looking

Is it Carmen or Carmela ? I'd looked for Carmen, not that there's a James Bede marriage anyway.

If these people are deceased, please do give as much detail as possible. Its always possible that she was a widow when she married so wouldn't have used her maiden name. They may not have been free to marry, or might have encountered parental disapproval for some reason.

Thanks all, I will have to contact Maltese Registry to see if there was a marriage but James Bede and Carmela in Islington in 1953 is the right family. Unfortunately I don't have any other info at the moment, hoping this info will jog a few memories.

In case a marriage did take in Malta, but was not registered with the UK authorities, contact the Maltese Public Registry to enquire about a search of the archives.

You could do with getting a birth cert to ascertain parents' names.
I did find this:
Name: Carmen Bede (& James Bede)
Year: 1953
County or Borough: Islington
Ward or Division/Constituency: Islington
Street address: 27 Scott Buildings Caledonian Road

Looking for a marriage of Mr Bede and Miss Vella, first birth I can find of Bede and Vella is in Islington 1952 the rest born in Watford. I believe that Mr Bede was Irish and Miss Vella was Maltese. There is a Navy connection with Mr Bede, so thinking they may have married in Malta?
Any help welcome
