Elsie. The Birth cert for one of the children will give you the full names of both parents. With the full names you can then look for the marriage. www.freebmd.org use the above site tolook for possbile entries. It's not complete but you might find them. When you have the ref numbers you can send for the cert to get the information you need to progress in your search. Good Luck Esta

POSSIBLE for daughter Name: Mary Ann E Baggott Year of Registration: 1891 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Wolverhampton County: Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands Volume: 6b Page: 607 (click to see others on page) If this is the right BC then you will have the full name of both parents to know if you have the right MC... Although the info that Lynne and Marie have found looks very good and all fits you need to back it up with certs to be 100% sure. Esta
