Hi Everyone, i've been today he're what i found(not a lot) for Gwyneth in Kent. the marriage records aren't indexed for that date yet.i looked at the fiche for part of 1908 but couldn't find anything,i'll look at the rest of 1908 another day(i ran out of time) for Michele Eva Ansell born 17th august 1886Portsea .baptised 16th september 1886 at Holy Trinity.daughter of Edmund and Annie Maria of Duchess of Edinburgh Public House,Queen Street.Cab Driver. Eva Ansell daughter of George and Sarah,2 Highland Place .Sergeant in RMA.milton .St james 30 th August 1885. I couldn't find anything for William but i hope one of these Evas is yours. for Lou,Julie and Allan.none of yours are indexed yet so i will need to look at the fiche. for Geraldine,the good news is i found the marriage butthe bad news is there were no parents but it did have the witnesses names,Richard Rook and Mary Morey.i also looked it up on the fiche as the lady told me that the parents names may have been left off by mistake but that was all the info there was. for all of you who i couldn't find anythig it was because the records hadn't been indexed yet,so i will make another trip another day to look at the fiches Karen

Sorry me again, could I be really cheeky and ask if you have time could you also check William John Ansell born 1889 Portsea again I believe the latter half of the year, once again I need to confirm who his parents were. Please if you are too busy with your own research or I have not given enough info dont worry I will understand. Thanks again Michele

Thank you Karen. If by chance there is an index of marriages at St Marys church Portsmouth please will you look for Ethel Emily HOLLINGWORTH who married in June Q. 1908. I believe that she may have married Harry Charles FRANKLIN. As I don't know a date, I wouldn't expect you to trawl through the months looking for her. I don't even know if it was definitely St Mary's although that is where her sister married, before this. Thank you for your offer.
