Antony Report 12 May 2010 00:50

I was wondering whether anyone could please help me to find the marriage of my great aunt Joan EMERY. It doesn't show up on Freebmd unfortunately & I really don't know where to look further.

Joan was born 02/06/1911 at 6 Dudley Rd, Wolverhampton, the daughter of Hubert EMERY & his wife Fanny (whose maiden name was OVERTON). Joan, a Nurse, apparently married in August 1940. I've been told that her husband was Richard Leighton RHYDDERCH, born 1891 in Rhyl. Richard was wounded (possibly gassed) in the First World War (1914 - 1918) and wasn't fit for work on returning home. He had previously been working for a bank (Lloyds?) and he received a lifelong pension from them.

Joan & her husband lived at Hatfield Broad Oak, Hertfordshire & they had no children. His family was believed to have been titled & apparently his older brother and sister, who also lived in Hatfield Broad Oak, were Sir or Lord Rhydderch and Lady Rhydderch (although I have found no evidence of this).

I have found the following entry in the London Gazette, 4 September 1914:-
5th Battalion, The South Staffordshire Regiment; the undermentioned to be Second Lieutenant, dated 5th September 1914 - Trevor Richard Leighton Rhydderch (to be supernumerary).

This might be Joan's future husband?

Joan died in 1978.

Any help would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance,
Tony
