Marriage, September qtr 1904
Ampthill district    vol 3b, page 789
Partridge, Gertrude
+ and on the same page +
Kidman, Percy Charles
From FreeBMD

I am thinking that this marriage took place in Cranfield (which is in Ampthill RD) as in 1901 & 1911 parents Samuel & Eliza plus remaining children were living in Cranfield & Samuel was then a Baker/Miller; while in 1891 & 1901 Gertrude was living in Midland road, Bedford being shop assistant in Baker's shop. I will check this out tomorrow.
