Title: Details of marriage in WW1 pension record but no Civil Registration
Post by: HarryTheBastard on Tuesday 07 January 20 10:26 GMT (UK)
I am looking for a marriage between Grandparents however all searches are blank other than details of the marriage on his WW1 pension record.

On the pension record it lists his marriage date and the church along with his children at the time.

Why would he have all details on this record but no actual marriage records found? Could he be living in sin and fibbing to the army?

Thank you  :)

Yes it's possible.  Perhaps to get pension benefits as a married person rather than a single one.

He is William Kimberley born Nov 1880

It looks like he was discharged as soon as he joined
 for not being likely to be efficient??

His wife is Selina Kimberley (Cross) and according to this record only they married in 1910 at St Andrews church Birchills a few months before their first child Selina Florence Kimberley

Not sure how much screenshot is allowed so I will try and upload individually

I lived 2 streets from the church  ;D but not in 1910

always look for spelling problems if you can't find something.

It is always better if you type out the information.  Generally we only upload parts of documents when they need deciphering.

You have my sympathy as I've just got over a stomach bug - started Christmas night  :(

Birchills is an area of Walsall, not too far from J10 of M6.

St Andrew's is in Birchills St, by the canal.
