Ethel Wright - no place of birth known
« on: Thursday 20 September 07 13:12 BST (UK) »
Hello

Im looking for an Ethel Wright born 1875 and married to a Frank Frederick Marsh on date unknown.  I believe they were married in Rochester or surrounding area in Kent, but Im not sure if this was where Ethel was from.

Not a lot to go on I know, hence my dead end! :)
Marsh: Kent
Shaw: Derbyshire
Partridge: West Bromwich
Milman: Worcester
...and then I will start on my wifes side!

Hi toby,

Are you familiar with FreeBMD?

Here is a link which will help you find your marriage:
http://www.freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
Just fill out the appropriate details and hit the FIND button. If you enter both Frank and Ethel's names, only one marriage appears.

Using the reference details you can buy a copy of the marriage certificate online from here:
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
Or you can follow the links from the FreeBMD page.

This will give you both father's names and occupations.

You can then look at the census (or request a lookup) for Ethel and Frank who you may find with their respective families in the 1881 and 1891 censuses.

Good luck.
