tooty fruitie.. thank you kindly

how is it possible to alter the marriage certificates on Genes ReUnited

Reginald didnt marry Mary, he married Jane

Genes ReUnited shows Reginald married both Mary and Jane
Walter is not mentioned on either of them

researchers will get confused if this is not changed

In 1941 two Brothers being Walter Timmis and Reginald Timmis Married two Sisters being Mary Kempster and Jane Kempster

On Genes ReUnited I have been checking the tree of this family who were my Aunties (siblings to my mother Bessie Kempster)

According to the Marriage certificates on Genes ReUnited both Mary and Jane Married Reginald in 1941 2nd Qtr Oswestry District. 6A 2506

Now this cannot be correct. I do know through family knowledge that Jane borrowed Mary`s wedding dress to marry Reginald. It was war time and materials and coupons were scarce. I can also be absolutely correct in knowing that Mary Married Walter in 1941 also.

So can this marriage certificate be corrected on GenesReUnited and the correct Qtr be put on the Marriage of Jane and Reginald.

I do not know if the Marriage of Mary and Walter was in the first Qtr of 1941 but if it was then the Marriage of Jane and Reginald is possibly correct.

Reginald needs to get this sorted before he is punished for Bigamy even though they are all buried now.
