Cant see a mariaige

whoops it double posted !!

wiil take a look ,back in a mo

Shirley is there anyway you could look up the family on the 1861/1871 census for Cheshire just so I could see if Francis and Caroline had any other children?

Thanks Sarah

Many thanks Shirley I thought that would be the case.

FreeBMD records is where we would look so if you cant identify it as yet then you need more info re Carolines maiden name .

Is there anyway that someone could find the marriage of Francis/Frank Edwards and his wife Caroline. I don't know Carolines maiden surname as yet as i need to send away for their son Henry's birth cert and there are a lot of Henry Edwards to sort through! Caroline was born abt 1825 Caldecott, Cheshire and Francis abt 1830 Farndon in Cheshire according to the 1881 census. Henry was born abt 1860 Crewe, Cheshire. I have looked on Free bmd and cant find a match.

Many thanks

Sarah
