Title: Yeovil Parish Registers-STRATFORD
Post by: jeepster on Monday 14 May 07 17:06 BST (UK)

I have a George Henry Stratford born in 1858 Wroughton (Highworth District), Wiltshire
In the 1881 census he is married to Augusta(in other census' she has just her initials A.A. or Ann).
In the 1881 census it says Augusta was born in Swindon and in the 1891 census it says she was born in Yeovil, Somerset.
Her first child Charley was born in Yeovil c1877, so I think she was probably born in Yeovil and married around 1876.
My problem is that I can't find a marriage for George and Augusta in Wroughton and thought that they could have got married in Yeovil as that it where the first child was born. Does anyone have access to parish registers for Yeovil? I have searched on Ancestry for the marriage and the birth of Charley but can't find a thing.
I hope I have made sense!
Lisa.

Hi,
I think it would better if you obtained the birth cert first (below),  for her parents official names, plus maiden name !
