Hi to be truthful I'm not sure im in the correct Region but going off free BMD the person I'm trying to research the following is the only info I have (I have conflicting info from my friend who I'm trying to help)
Annie Boyer
According to her marriage cert was born 1888
According to 1939 register her birth is 12/2/1888
According to Free BMD march 1888 Walsall
Her Marriage is 100% correct to Lawrence Cokell b 1891
Married All Saints Pontefract 29-6-1918
Showing her father as William Boyer, miner.
I cant seem to "clarify " her details and her mothers name.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm stumped and can't even start a tree !,!
Any help would be greatly appreciated (as in the past 😊)
Thank you in advance x
