Title: Marriage Registers Frederick HODGES & Florence OLDS
Post by: leo on Thursday 04 February 10 22:53 GMT (UK)

I am looking for a marriage between Frederick Hodges (who was a widower) born Stonehouse in Devon, 35 in 1901 and a Florence Olds born Kingswood, 24 in 1901 in Kingswood.  Think it took place around 1889-1900.

Sorry haven't got a church name.

Hi

This is the website we all use to look for BMD's

You have to know a church name to lookup a marriage at the records office - otherwise you will need to buy a copy of the marriage cert

I have checked the freebmd and they are both listed with the same references so I am assume they are the correct couple.

I don't really want to buy the marriage certificate at present.  Will just have to put that one on the back burner for a while.

Thank you

Hi

The Bristol registration district covered a big area as you can see from the link below.  This is why the name of the church is needed
