Find Ancestors

Kath. I did wonder if they got married, tried looking for a marriage for Rhoda to someone else or maybe Edward was already married. Trying to find Edward in the 1891 census found one living with mother of Betsy Barnes but he wasn't in the Merchant Navy and states single.

Never trust anything on someone's tree, John!

Always check for actual records.

No, Free BMD doesn't give mms.
You have to register on the GRO site, but it's free to use, and is invaluable. I don't know how we ever managed without it!

Thank you ArgyllGran, looking on freebmd it gives no mms..I am also on Ancestry and people who have submitted family trees for them have completely got things around their neck, think they put anything in
