Thankyou, for taking the time to help, i have had a look at his marriage certificate from 6th sept 1918 his age at the time was 25 so his birth year 1893 could be about right, his father was George Stores he was a seaman and his mother Janet ann Stores , Still desperatly needing more information

Thankyou

What is George's occupation on the marriage cert?

Does it give a maiden surname for Janet Ann?

Is his mother's maiden name not shown on the marriage cert? It usually is on Scottish ones?

Snap, Maureen!

I think it does show her maiden name, and also Georges Job, but im really struggling to make out what it says :-S

Her maiden name looks like Dart or Dent.

George is a Ploughman. But it also has Private 1st KOSB.

George's father, George is deceased as is his mother, Jane Ann.

Witnesses were Thomas Gibson and Henrietta Hutcheson, I think.

Hello Mary - the only way is to buy a copy of the certificate from GRO.

It will be one of the women on the record:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Jun 1887
Bee Samuel Fry Sunderland 10a 738
Humphrey Mary Isabel Sunderland 10a 738
??Humphrey Mary Isabella Sunderland 10a 738
??Stacey Mary Ellen Sunderland 10a 738
>>Stores George Sunderland 10a 738

It's a shame they're both called Mary as it makes tracking in the census less of an option.

EDIT: of course the 1891 shows the wife as Mary E
