Title: How do i obtain details of a marriage in Vienna c1950
Post by: Jamez on Tuesday 16 December 14 20:41 GMT (UK)

I am trying to find the marriage records for Sergeant James H. Rankin who served with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers through the war years and then with the Army Service Corps after the war.  He served in North Africa and Italy and then garrison duty in Vienna. He married a local girl Johanna around January 1950.  Maiden name not known. The couple had a son born in Vienna in August 1952.  James died of heart disease in St. Thomas` hospital London in December 1954. His widow Johanna may have emigrated to Canada.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

James
