In the event anyone comes across the marriage detail that is recorded as Q3 1911 in the GRO index at Headington RD for William G WILKINSON, I would pleased to hear from them. As I am trying to locate a long lost ancestor I do not know if this is church marriage or at the appropriate RO. Thanks.

Marriage locator has
GRO Index 1911 quarter 3, volume 3a, page 2333:
Sorry, we cannot locate the church for this marriage. The entry is located between entries for Oxford St Clement (RD: Headington) and Kirtlington St Mary the Virgin (RD: Bicester).

Thank you.
This does not appear to be the relative I am looking for. His middle name is Gifford and was born in 1860.
-
Where do you last have him in census
-
at home in Banbury in 1871 as GIFFARD (his mother's married name).
1 day imprisonment 1876.
Royal Marines depot, Walmer Kent in 1880
Sudan Medal 1886.
Possibly the person under examination in 1900 at Royal Hospital, Chelsea
May have settled overseas.

Do you have his Royal Marine records, what date do they have for his birth
-
No. The only records I have are those available on Ancestry. Four at Walmer, which matches name origin and year of birth as well as the Sudan Star with Suakin clasp awarded in 1886. I am not entirely sure the 1900 Chelsea Hospital reference is him, as with the 1886 medal list from HMS Carysfort. Proven to be very ellusive.
-
I presume that you have seen the articles on his stealing the Lime Blue in the Banbury Advertiser 9th March 1876 where it mentions he was going to join the Militia or the Artillery available on British Newspaper archive.
-
I would expect to find his Royal Marine service records on TNA website, others that joined up around the same time are there.
-
Thank you for that.
