Title: Marriage records for Isle of Wight
Post by: pyromancer on Sunday 24 March 13 20:09 GMT (UK)

Hi all.....wondering if anyone can help.   :)

I have found a marriage record for a relative but have hit a wall with the groom.  I cannot find any mention of him anywhere other than on the marriage record.  ???

If anyone can access IOW records and let me know grooms dob and fathers name, I'd be extremely grateful. 

The brides name is Violet Ethel May Pink, Groom is John Robert Duncan.  The marriage took place in 1927 at St John, Wroxall. Reference: COE58.1/56

Thanks  ;)

I think you will need to buy a copy of the marriage certificate.

Jul/Aug/Sep 1927
Isle of Wight ref 2b 1577
John R Duncan / violet E R Pink

His record is under ref 1b 1577, but I am pretty sure 2b is the correct one for Isle of Wight

Yes it does - and the link is here on the Resources board.

And pyromancer has already looked there, since the reference quoted came from that site  ;)

John Robert Duncan sounds Scottish to me?

Have you tried there?
