Is it really possible for a marriage to have been accidentally omitted from the records? I've lost one, or I'm blind! Bev x

It's possible for any record not to have made the jump from local ROs to the GRO index. It was a manual process, so fallible. Have you tried the local RO? Or, perhaps, they didn't actually marry? Or married much later than you thought? Neither of those is unknown! Christine

Thought you'd never ask, lol!!!! Thank you Jess! I have a Minnie Randall, born 1898, who married a Chandler in Surrey, probably Kingston upon Thames. First child born 1922. I have looked through Ancestry bmds for (what felt like) decades either side, and more than once, but can't find the marriage. I know there was a marriage because I have seen the photo! Undated, sadly. Bev x

Hi Bev, are you positive Joan in 1922 was the first child? Sam

As positive as I can be, their first child was called Joan! Bev x

Could this be a possible? Joseph Chandler to Edith Randall Birmingham 6d 710. 4th quarter 1921. A long way from Kingston and not a Minnie I know. Susan

Jess, I did wonder if Minnie was her real name, but found her birth registered as 'Minnie'. Bev x

Susan I kept looking at that one, and though the time is spot on, the place is way out and Edith?? I'm sure her name is Minnie, or at least I found a Minnie Randall on bmds born in exactly the right place at the right time! Bev x
