Title: Marriage and Birth look ups for Brandon, Durham
Post by: Nickm on Sunday 06 December 09 15:40 GMT (UK)

Anyone able to access marriage records from Brandon (probably), Durham for Q3 1930 (from GRO index)? Looking for details of marriage of Thomas Holliday and Agnes Joyce.

The Brandon reference came from the birth place of daughter Joyce 2 years later. So would appreciate baptism details of Joyce Holiday, born 1st June 1932 if possible. I don't know of any siblings for Joyce, but would be nice to know for sure.

Many thanks

Hi Nick
It is possible that Joyce and any siblings are still alive in which case we do not allow any details here on rootschat.  Can you confirm that she is deceased?
You can check on www.freebmd.org.uk to see if they have covered those particular years for birth registrations.  Put in surname and mother's maiden name and see what comes up.
Regards
Andrea

Firstly I put the wrong given name in the post. She was actually Elizabeth Joyce Holliday (always known as Joycee though). I can confirm that she died a few years ago and I am  not aware of her having any siblings. 
I havent tried FreeBMD for her parents etc, but had tried the GRO indexes, in the same way and not found any siblings, so its probably unlikely.
many thanks
Nick
