This means trawling the records, qtr by qtr...unless you can give a possible year for the events.


You could take up the 14-day free trial with Ancestry, and carry out the search yourself...............

Tall order, sablon!

Deaths could help - do you have them?

Is this the Audrey you're thinking of?

Name: Audrey Wraight
Birth Date: 5 Sep 1920
Death Registration Month/Year: May 1991
Age at death (estimated): 70
Registration district: Maidstone
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 1239

If so, the marriage would have been after 1940ish, although Alfred was older.

There are about 20 Wraight births in Maidstone district 1940-1960, with about a half dozen different mothers' surnames.

I'll send you a list.

I think somerset may have sent those by PM, as I did the children's and mothers' names, because it's all treading a little close to the line of posting personal info about living people. ;)

Ahem. The things we check *before* posting them on the boards.

"Jessie"? That spelling would normally be for a girl baby; Jesse for boy. That's why nobody thought -- Ah, Jessie AW, Jessie *Alfred*, I'd think! ... Or did somebody?
