You could read "The Marriage Records of England & Wales, A Comedy of Errors" in two volumes, by Michael Foster. The study reveals the infinite variety of ways in which the marriage records have suffered from errors and omissions.

Hi

I think the only way you are going to progress with finding their marriage is to buy a copy of one of their childrens birth certs.  As my reply above says:

Quite often freebmd shows an uneven number of male to female entries on the same page of a marriage transcript

Although there is no entry for Joel - there may be one for Sarah if we knew her maiden name
Any entry for Sarah can then be cross referred to match with an entry for Joel

Thanks Stan
I haven't read it all but I get your drift.
I was just browsing the marriage indexes and thought I'd look up my own parents. I do have their certificate so it was just out of curiosity. Much to my surprise my dad is listed as Harold L but his name was Kenneth L.

I agree CaroleW
I will do that.
I just thought maybe someone could see something that was staring me in the face.
Thank you all for helping.

Hi

As Hannah married as Levi rather than Abrahams I checked in case Joel did the same but no joy - sorry!

Cheers for looking.
Bit of a mystery. I suppose it's possible they never married, maybe Sarah wasn't Jewish. My great grandmother wasn't Jewish but she married Joel's brother at the registry office so you would think they would have married one way or another. Other members of the family show up on the Birmingham synagogue records but not Joel [ or my gr grandad]
Ah well I'm sure it will come to light one day.
Thanks again.
