Don't you already have the marriage? 6 Aug. 1949.

Mark - if you explain what you're trying to find out about the marriage then we may be better placed to help you.

I did not - thank you who did he marry does it say please

Nothing showing on California marriage index .....

The tree on ancestry obviously doesn't show the spouse's name as she may still be living.

Please may i ask for possible assistance in trying to locate any children to this couple.

Thomas Cumming Alsop b.1881 Gobur, Victoria, Austalia who married Agnes Lundy 1916 in Victoria, Austalia.

Many thanks

Please could i ask for assistance in looking up the wife of Charles Harold Beardsley 19380-2011. A lady called Martha. he also had another wife called Martha McLendon. There is a son to first Martha called Connor A.

FreeBMD doesn't have any marriages of Charle Beardsley to a Martha other than one in 1907, Also no birth of Connor Beardsley. Where were these events supposed to happen?

I guess this is him?

Full Obituary: Charles H. Beardsley III, 72, of Leesburg, VA died on Tuesday, April 12, 2011. He died at home, with close friends and family at his side. Our husband, father and grandfather was a wonderful man whose intelligence, talent, gift for teaching and explanation made our lives richer. He will be deeply missed. Charles led a rich and varied life as a Naval Intelligence Officer, architect, GSA investigator, cabinetmaker, teacher and artist. In his later years he was deeply proud of his work in Bay St. Louis, MS after Hurricane Katrina. His example and belief in service touched us all. Charles rarely mentioned awards or commendations received but there were two of which he was particularly proud. He was the recipient of the Joint Services Commendation Award for his work while with the Navy, and he received a proclamation of Appreciation from the Governor of Mississippi for his work during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Charles is survived by his loving and much-loved wife, Dr Martha Calihan, their son Conor, and his sons from a previous marriage, Sean and Colin. Charles is also survived by two granddaughters, Rachel and Rebecca, of whom he was very proud. A celebration of his life will be held at his familys house immediately following a 2:30 pm service at St. Jamess Episcopal Church in Leesburg, VA on Friday April 15th. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to either the Integrative Family Medicine Charitable Foundation for Education (116-Q Edwards Ferry Road, Leesburg VA 20176) or the Inova Loudoun ICU Clinical Education Fund (44045 Riverside Parkway, Leesburg VA 20176). <span id="obituary1_Datalist1_ctl0

Thank you Margee

Mark,

With reference to your query about Victorian records I have the following, which is not much help to you,

Birth records up 1911,
death records to 1985.

You may pick up children from death records (if applicable). Victorian records are very comprehensive and show children, and parents.Try the website at The State registry office, listing BDM's

Good luck.
