Please help I'm baffled!

I am trying to find a marriage of a margaret fettiplace and oliver mason. roughly born around 1912 in the nottingham, northampton area.

two children I know of a delia and errol mason. I tried trying to find boards but there isnt one for fettiplace.

I have tried ancestry, free bmd and genes but cant find a thing!

please help before pull all my hair out!

also I know that errol was born in 1939 so I guess the marriage was around that time...

"Thank you so much!!"

being just plain nosey - what site did you find that on??

Jasmyne, you can look them up yourself on freebmd.org - births, marriages and deaths being transcribed from the index by volunteers.

Read the Tips for Newbies threads.

You need the refs given to buy the certificates from GRO online for £7 each.

Hi Heather,

Thanks, I did try the free bmd site. I have just tried it again and it still shows no results for me.

Will go and read it again, but I just dont understand what I am doing wrong. :(

Are you choosing the right event to search for?

Ah, do you mean that late marriage? freebmd only goes up to roughly the 2nd decade as its still an ongoing project. To find events that dont appear on there you have to look through the complete bmd index - as on ancestry or find my past - both pay to view sites.

Wth a lovely unusual surname like Fettiplace, Id put all events on the freebmd site and bring up everyone of them. Likely to be connected and worth keeping for the future.

yes - marriages.

Sorry, we found no matches.

Had to search the full index quarter by quarter on ancestry to find there marriage.

See my post above - freebmd is still being transcribed if you cant find late events you need the pay to view sites.
