Perhaps they got elsewhere, perhaos in the next county. This is what /i found with my own relatives. I found that they got married in Burnley instead of Bradford. How found that was because they had another child that I did not realised existed! Hope you find them! Rowena

Another thought! Have you tried looking for the registration childrens births? The BMD records give the mothers maiden name after about 1911. Heather Ps sorry just realised I was looking at the wives surnames!

I have found one of them on 1837online: CHAINEY Frances Dec 1923 (Diston) Gateshead 10a 1838 I cannot see the Kene one though. Maybe it is a spelling mistake - hav you looked under Keen, Keene, Kane, Kune etc.? Liz

Hi Jennifer The answer is probably to splash out on one of the marriage certs., or if you're near the record office of the area they were married in go and look at the parish record. I hope someone else can think of another way for you! Heather Just thought, do you know their wives names? It's not clear from your post. If you do put them on here and I expect someone will have a look for you
