Many thanks to Glitter Baby and Flick for all your info so far. I can only get on the computer now and then unfortunately and so there may be delays in accessing or replying to posts. Sorry, and thanks again for your help.

Witnesses's to marriage in 1926 were G M Oliver and D Cunningham but I don't see how this helps.

I got a pm from Hilary saying she had got the marriage cert.

Information from the marriage cert should have been included in the request

Flick

Flick Report 13 Apr 2011 13:51

You say that she "isn't on 1911"...........how can you know that?

You don't know where she was born, and haven't indicated that you know her father's name................

If you have the marriage cert to know that her father was David does it give an occupation for him

Where any relatives related? Oops that should be asking about witness to the marriage

I am trying to find information on Pauline Cohen born in 1904. The only information on her birthplace is on her death cert which just states "England", not a town or county. She does not appear on the 1911 census and I think that her parents may have come from Russia. She married John David Lang in 1926.
She is down as "Pauline" on the marriage and death certs but as "Polly" on her son's birth cert.
Does anyone know how I might find more info about her birth and / or early years?
