Hi Stan
            Thank you for the ultra fast reply.
            Can you work out which office on your list it is from this info ?

            In April 1920, the Registrar was T. W. Ferguson
            and Deputy Superintendent Registrar  C. W. Anderson also signed !
All the best

Once again Stan, thanks for the info.

Just for the record ( and curious Trini )  Jan's grandparents died when she was a very young girl.
We know very little about them. The marriage cert of 1920 has George living at Pont St, Stepney
( in the area between the river and Byker Bridge, now long gone ) and Elsie was living in Maughan St in Benwell also long gone.
We live a long way from the Tyneside area so we now want to try and find photos of the two streets and the registry office in which they married.

All the best wishes,  Downswilliam
