Hi My great gran was called evelyn measham born in pontefract in 1914, her mothers maiden name was crisp. I'm abit stuck after that. I know that she married a scholes then a challinger and had 4 children including my gran, then died around 1954. I'm just looking for anything on her mother and father please.

Look on freebmd for their marriage.the names are unusual enough for you to be reasonably sure of having the right people........OR, to be 100% certain, purchase her birth cert

EDIT:

The marriage is clearly there.........I'll let you find it, and hope that others will do the same

This would be their marriage -
