Welcome to Rootschat! ;D

Hi, where did you find these references from? If it was from the Free BMD you could consult the GRO Marriage indexes for that year and quarter by cross referencing both the women's names. If one has the same Reference as Elfred Smith then you have a match.

If you do not live in either England or Wales then you can use http://www.1837online.com/Trace2web/ This site is the complete GRO index as you would find in the General Register Offices but it is a pay per view site.

Hope this helps you.
Kindest Regards Jen  :D

I have already checked the GRO and both ladies match the number with Eldred Smith so I presume there are two marriages to the page.
Cannot check a census as whoever she is, has died.  Thanks for replying to me. I live in Tasmania.

Hi Kress,

Do you know what Eldred's occupation, address or father's name was?   If so you could apply for the certificate giving both ladies' names and references, but specify that the correct one will have these details.

 Eldred Smith remarried February 1904 as a widdower.  I found both the ladies with the same number so presumed there would be two marriages on the one page.  Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

Eldred Smith's occupation is Pork Butcher, the same as his brothers Horace, Herbert & Irvin(e).  Their father had a family business in Bradford.

According to the Yorkshire BMD site http://www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk/ the 1901 marriage was at All Saints, Otley (the parish church) to Mary Ann Thurlow. His 1904 marriage doesn't come up - presumably it wasn't in any of the places that have been indexed.

My sincere thanks to Arthur for solving my problem, I have checked for her death in Bradford and came up with five possible. I do have a copy of Eldred's second marriage which took place in Bradford.
Once again thanks from down under    Kath.
