This might be of use - http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/airmanraf.htm Chances are, the only way to get his records is for a next of kin to apply for them - there is a charge too.

Hi Maria - you could try looking on FreeBMD for possible marriages, however with their names you'll get a lot of matches! http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

I've seen that now NanaSue although it would have been much more constructive if the reporter had given advice on how to correct the accidental duplicate. :-)

Hello Maria, could you give us some idea of when and where they were born?

Don't know if you realise but your request has posted twice (sometimes happens when the site is running slow). Could you go to the other thread and delete it (just go to the first post and click "delete") - otherwise you could end up with tow lots of answers and gets very confusing!
