British Army marriage in 1920s Germany.
« on: Saturday 20 December 08 07:34 GMT (UK) »
According to the family photo album, my dads cousin Ernest COX served in the British Army of Occupation of the Rhineland after WW1 and he married a German girl whose name began with H. If he was in a county regiment it would probably be the Hampshires.
i cannot find the marriage in the usual UK records, Any ideas please?

We always wondered where they were in WW2 ie which side their children would be on!
TIA Dick Fowler

Hi,


The marriage would probably be in the Army Register Books (1881-1959) for births, marriages and deaths outside the UK.   They used to be at the old FRC in London.
