Could any one please help me [and i am not expecting miracles ] but how on earth can i find a marriage of an Edna Hardy as all i have to go with is her name Edna Hardy born 1942 from Greenwich, any help would be so apprecitated. All i know is her mother was called Rose not even sure what her maiden was could of been Norris but i am now very much doubting that!! as i cannot find a Rose Norris married to a chap called R Hardy. Please i am sorry for the lack of information but you wonderful people are my last hope!!!!!
Thank you for reading this thread,
Ann.

This the only 1942 birth for that name

Name: Edna M Hardy
Mother's Maiden Surname: Norris
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1942
Registration district: Greenwich
Registration county: Greater London
Volume Number: 1d
Page Number: 670


Good to have a middle initial to search marriage, it narrows things down a bit

Blimey.......... a few more possibles including a set of twins


Christina P Hardy Apr May Jun 1935 Greenwich Greater London
Dennis R Hardy Oct Nov Dec 1932 Greenwich Greater London
Derek Hardy Jan Feb Mar 1929 Greenwich Greater London
Irene A Hardy Oct Nov Dec 1924 Greenwich Greater London
*Beryl Hardy Jan Feb Mar 1926 Greenwich Greater London
*Ronald Hardy Jan Feb Mar 1926 Greenwich Greater London

If the above are siblings then the Hardy/Norris marriage could be pre 1924

You're very welcome Ann, obviously I don't know if they are siblings, there could have been more than one Hardy/Norris marriages and only certs will confirm that, I was looking through marriages but my Ancestry seems to have frozen and I have to go out now.
I know you want to go forward with Edna but it would be nice to confirm her parents too.
I will pop back later, do you have Ancestry access? I assume not

SYLVIE THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!!
Please believe me when i say i cannot thank you enough for all your kind help, this means so much to me thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sylvie if this is to cheeky then please take no notice!!! i do think maybe i am pushing my luck a little to far now!!! but do you think you could help me find Rosina Norris birth i think it could of been Shoreditch or Camberwell or Hackney. Please, Please do not worry if it is to much i would honestly understand. I do know her mother was Emily Amelia Norris nee [Waterhouse] father James Norris.
Again many , many thanks to Sylvie and Smiley,
Best wishes Ann.

If you get the marriage cert it will give her age, then you can narrow down the time frame a bit.
