I just rang the Epping Registry Office and for £7 for the cert they will also check it or me so if they have his occupation and maybe fathers name and the fact they were married in the registry office I might get lucky Thanks for all your help taking Doggie out now

Blimey, not arf. You worried me when you said its ALWAYS there I thought def senile decay had beset me last 2 years! It would be great if they could do that for all of them - brilliant. I shall go and have a fiddle on their now to see if there are any late marriages of any of mine.

but would he tell his real fathers name ??? I doubt it somehow . Heather its a shame they didnt always put the other halfs name wouldnt life had been easier and cheaper only one ref to look up

Fiona

Fiona Report 28 Oct 2005 13:26

What about the grooms fathers name? Even if he changed his name surely the fathers name would be right?

Heather

Heather Report 28 Oct 2005 13:25

No Val, all the ones I look up are early and they have just everyone jumbled together in alphabetical order, they dont give the spouses surname for you.

just one thought she married in a registry office so maybe if I called them they could tell me if it was a registry office wedding !!!!! then it would be even more likely to be her wouldnt it ?????

If it's the right first name and the right surname I think your right..........how many can there be with that name? It's not like Jane Smith or Mary Jones is it?? Now I have a Mary Jones........Good job she married a Titley or I never would have found her!!!

FC do you mean you think I am right , the thing is Maura isnt a very common name not like Moira which is more common

Fiona

Fiona Report 28 Oct 2005 13:15

I think it is. It's not a lie Val, it's an expansion on the truth. The shoes cost 20 I expand it to 27.

yes Heather it is and they did live in the Essex area at that time

Heather Report 28 Oct 2005 13:14

Is it the Breen one? Oh how lovely on these late ones it gives a spouse column - woo hoo. I hope we get a lot more like that online soon. Thanks Valerie, I wouldnt have known about these recent ones if you hadnt asked this question. I bet freebmd will be on overload today when people read this.

Fiona Report 28 Oct 2005 13:09

The Husbands surname isn't on Ancestry but if you look on FreeBMD it's there.

Tut Tut FC you dont expect me to lie to my husband do you???? of course I am going to get it and he will think its free as always , lucky he doesnt use the PC isnt it ??

Fiona

Fiona Report 28 Oct 2005 13:06

I don't know about you but if I knew that was her maiden name I'd have to get it and find out! Then Tell the Hubby my shoes cost 7 pounds more than they did! lol

Hi Heather it does say the surname of who they married on each entry have you not noticed that????

Heather

Heather Report 28 Oct 2005 13:03

Isnt that the area Valerie, not a name? I dont know, do they do modern ones with the grooms name showing? But I would think if it is the wrong name Val, it wont be the right couple. No chance of knowing the kids names at all?
