Title: william Long Quelch
Post by: tempogold on Thursday 26 September 24 14:20 BST (UK)
Hello

I had hoped with an unusual surname I would have had no problems with my search alas not the case.
William was born ( according to IOM death listing) 1931--location unknown.
He was living in the IOM in Ramsey in 2004--electoral roll. and died 2010 In Ramsey.

In 1965 he was in Nottingham and in 1966 married his second wife Ellen M Paulus( Q4 ).
But i can find no trace of a marriage to his first wife Mary Ford said to be from Birmingham.
Interested in finding his first marriage.

Any help would be appreciated.

The Marriage Certificate will give you his father's name?

 Thank you but don't think my William as he was not born to 1931.

This doesn't help directly with your search but there are a couple of newspaper reports from July 1965 describing how a William Long-Quelch and his 11 year old son, of 62, Trent Road Nottingham were rescued from marshes in the Wash by an RAF helicopter after their boat foundered.

This 11 year old son obviously predates the marriage that you have. His name is given as Glen.
