I'm looking for a marriage for a James Smith and Alice Beatrice Hill.
On the 1911 census James aged 17 single born Abbots Bromley. Occupation Railway Clerk boarding
with the Webber family in Abertillery Wales. In 1914 he enlisted at Burton upon Trent in South
Staffs Regt No. 8004, his address West Bromwich. He was killed 23/10/1914 - CWGC website says his widow A.B. Sheldon formerly Smith living in West Brom. First I can't find a marriage or unable
to find Alice Beatrice on any census. I've got her second marriage cert. which states father down
as Samuel Hill occupation Railway Labourer. Can anyone help me, I've think I've been down every
avenue I can think of.

I think that is the cert that she has ordered and it turned out not to be correct.

Hi
I've recently purchased the certificate for Beatrice Alice, but unfortunately not the correct one
one. If they married in Wales is there a chance it wouldn't be recorded. He must have married
in between the 1911 census and 1914, his widow married again in 1915.
Checked all the indexes, can't find a thing.

Why would it not be recorded?

I've no idea, I'm just clutching at straws. I've spent hours looking for a marriage + I can't
find Alice on a census. There is a Alice Beatrice Hill birth registered in Sept 1893 in West Brom
but without getting another certificate I'm at a loss where to go next. The only other thing is
did the go to Gretna Green????
