Title: Mystery male spouse - Wierzgon (where's e gone?)
Post by: Copper1 on Tuesday 15 February 22 20:37 GMT (UK)
Totally confused by finding a possible marriage of my cousin Helen Rose/Rosetta Harrison b 1903 Islington, and up popped FREEBMD with Helen R & Wierzgon but no male match in March Qtr 1950 Leeds 2C/480.
The transcriber has matched the GRO page exactly, although the 'e' is faded, it is an E.

I've used wildcards W* and Wi* with no results. As marriages are not indexed I can't check GRO's material. Does anyone have any ideas/solutions please?

It would be hilarious to find the groom's name really did spell a frantic plea from the reception  ::)

The record you found is a birth registration - Wiezgon is supposed to be the mothers maiden name.

Michael.

Edit - emphasis on 'birth'.

If Helen was born 1903 - she possibly married before 1950

There is no Harrison/Wierzgon marriage in 1950 in Leeds.

There is one in 1948 - Agnes Wierzgon and Leslie Harrison.

Absolutely true, I'm often in touch with Victor & Jane's daughter (Victoria, in Australia since 1954) and working through the family history connections.  I had traced Ethel marrying John W. and taken it as far as necessary with her death (cremation) 1985 Islington Crem[DeceasedOnline].
