What marriages have you found for a Hilda Atkin anywhere? Where does she fit in your tree?

Can't see anyhting on Ancestry that matches for deaths etc. Would it be worth asking Allen Green for a living person search???

Ann Do you know for certain that she married. She may not have done. And of cause she could still be alive. Victor

i am not convinced that you will find records for her! She may never have married and may still be alive ,aged but even so. jess

Thats quite hard to start in the 1900's. Have you started around 1934 looking for the marriage on 1837, if so how far have you gone, did she definately get married. Have you checked the name on the name search on here???

Ann

Ann Report 21 May 2005 20:49
