Marriage Look up 1920's

[seasider]

I am looking for a marriage between Edwards[ the female ] and Mendes from around 1922 onwards, possibly in Cardiff.
Sorry I don't have any first names.

Many Thanks

Joaquin J Mendes m Sarah M Davies Cardiff Dec  Quarter 1933  11a 1141

Any good?

Thanks for looking it up, I feel it will be earlier as a child was born in 1924 with the mothers name as Edwards.

MENDS, Edmund Thomas to a possible (on the same page) Elizabeth Ann Edwards in Merthyr Tydfil 1894
which may be too early?
and a MENDS to EDWARDS in Haverford West 1924 but wrong way round and its the groom thats Edwards


Trying to think of how many ways Mendes could be mis spelled

[seasider]

Yes thanks, I had thought of the name being mispelled, it does seem too early with a child being born in 1924. I did look all through Free BMD for Edwards and any near the name Mendes, I also wondered if Edwards had been married before Mendes and then the maiden name would have still been listed as Edwards on the record.

Think the only way you'll do it is get the bc for Rachel and get the fathers first name.  Theres only one Mendes in Cardiff for last census and that was Pascool he was a Portuguese man from Goa ... who was married and 41 - so maybe he and Miss Edwards didn't marry - unless he was already married to her by then?

[seasider]

You are right , I will get that certificate and see if that will get me further, the man from Goa is interesting though.

Thanks for looking
