hi i am looking for the marriage of my grt grandparents but with no luck...i have gone through the marriages on ancestry but cant find any sign of them ..where do i look now? thanks Sam

When you say you have gone through the marriages - you mean with a name search? That is the freebmd section and is not complete as it is an ongoing volunteer project. To find the marriage you would need to go to ancestry and then down past the search box and click on the beta bmd index. You will have to trawl through the images of the records quarter by quarter so try to cut down the possible years first by deduction.

Sam if you post some names & dates we may be able to help. Georgina.

i havent got any dates i am just going by the birth of my grandma...their names would have bein samuel hulse and lillian smith around the birkenhead area Cheshire england...

oh right will go and trawl through them and see what i can find...thanks to all

Sam, you must have some idea of a marriage date. When was their eldest child born? If you know that you can hopefully work backwards. If you think the date falls into the 1866-1920 period you can go to the familyrelatives.org site and pay to view the period by a name search rather than trawling.

Sam when was your grandmother born? Georgina.

granma was born first quater of 1919

Will try that site then ...i cant go further back without the marriage cert as havent any dates for births etc..thanks again to all for your help

Sam, there should be an offer on still. If you go to familyrelatives.org register and click on purchase units - a new page will come up and in the promotion code box (the top one) put LC2005 click again and hopefully another page will come up showing you a 10 unit box. 10 units (free) would be enough to see the marriage if you do it carefully. Click on the 1866-1920 period box, enter the marriage, the most unusual name out of your great grandparents (or the one you know) and enter an area (use the map if its a vague area) and a time span. I do hope it comes up for you.

was your Grandmother thier first child?

Sam just mailed to say shes gonna have a go at familyrelatives.org. If she has no joy she will come back with more details for us.

i dont know if she was first born or not .have no other info of this side of the family, there is no one to ask and my dad cant remember much..he cant even remember if hes eaten breakfast or not...he can vagually remember an uncle Sam but cant be certain.

Sam, Lilian M Smith married Samuel Hulse in Liverpool in the september quarter 1917 ref no:8b-34. Georgina.
