Looking for marriage of Arthur GRAYER and Florence Mary NOYCE
« on: Sunday 07 April 13 22:18 BST (UK) »
They are supposed to have been married in 1911 but I can only find an entry for him in the Salisbury registration district. Help please.

Salisbury is in Wiltshire, the marriage on freebmd is in 1911 and there are no other combinations of those surnames

Why don't you think it's correct?

I wonder whether maybe Lillith isn't entirely familiar with FreeBMD.
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

When you find the Arthur Grayer marriage in 1911, click on the page number (406) and it will show you the other names on the page, one of them being Florence M Noyce.

This was just before the index started matching brides and grooms by surname - that started in 1912. However, the other change happened at the beginning of 1910 - the index stopped listing full middle names and started giving middle initials only.

So if you searched for them separately at FreeBMD, and asked for a marriage for Florence Mary Noyce, you wouldn't find it - because FreeBMD's searches are essentially "exact" and would not find anything for "Florence Mary" in 1911, only for "Florence M".

(At Ancestry, you will get "fuzzy matches", so that search would have worked there.)

MONCK?
