Alice Ward

I am starting a search for the parents of Alice Ward who married James Rigby. She was born in 1910 in Bolton and had a sister Ann and a brother William.

Hi

Welcome to rootschat 

I see they married in 1938 Doncaster reg district
Marriage March qtr 1938   
Rigby  James  (spouse Ward)     
Ward  Alice  (spouse Rigby)

Doncaster registration district ref 9c 1131 

It would be best to get the marriage certificate which would give fathers names etc.  This applies to your other post regarding James Rigby as well.

Hi

Is this her death registration ?

Name:  Alice Rigby
Birth:  14 Aug 1910
Death:  Sep 1991 - Doncaster,

if so this would most likely be her birth registration
Birth Sept qtr 1910   
WARD  Alice     Bolton  8c 484

Thank you Rosie and Allan for your replies!

Yes Rosie - you have the right information. What's the best way to get their marriage certificate?

I live in Australia so I can't easily visit places back in England.

Thank you for your help!
