GlitterBaby Report 16 Jun 2011 12:14

Any occupation given for Nicholas on marriage cert or is he marked as deceased ?

Witnesses might be useful if you think they were related

John Report 16 Jun 2011 11:36

I am trying to find Robert Bowden, married Violet Hollingsworth 25/11/1911.
His father was Nicholas.
Roberts address at marriage was 10 Quay Street Manchester.
Looking for evidence of his birth and death, and anything else.
Have searched but had no luck.

thank you
John
