Find Ancestors

Hi ,everybody.
Trying to help a neighbour with family search.

She was looking for Parents of both John G.Foster and Sarah Nelson Marsh who she thinks married in c.1948 at West Hartlepool.
Any help will be greatly appreciated., Terry L.

Buy a copy of the marriage certificate for names of both fathers

Use freebmd to find details needed for ordering. You’ve been given links to the site on previous occasions

OR

Find births of the couple on the GRO site…..also free….then look for marriages of parents

Nothing we can do that you can’t ;-) ;-)

Sarah Nelson Foster died 25 Feb 1984….newspaper entry refers to her as ‘former’ wife of Gordon…….presumably John G

Find the death on freebmd to ascertain her DoB

OK, just because I’ve nothing better to do

1939 Register

John Marsh 15.06.1898
Edith Jane Marsh 13.12.1899

Now look for their marriage to determine MMN…………it was in 1918

Easy to find

Easy to find if you know where to look.

Terence, the free website www.freebmd.org,uk
is a very useful site and relatively easy to use.

B= births
m = marriages
D = deaths

John Gordon Foster died 1994 aged 71….DoB July

Had a sister Jean….so look for his birth based on those facts
Also brother Brian

Above info from newspaper announcements of his death

Thanks for your help. Will look at freebmd etc .
