While looking for the marriage on one relative I stumbled upon a person who I have in my tree already. I was suprised to see himthere, as I had been trying to find his marriage without success. I then started to realise that he could be the husband of the lady had I had been 'working' on.

Excuse me if this gets confusing, I am still trying to get my head around it.

Sarah Constance Turland born 1880 Walgrave, Northamptonshire

I think she married in 1906 q4:

Walter Jellis born 1879 Thrapston, Huntingdonshire

I think I found a child of theirs too, however I have been known to be wrong.

Name: Mary C Jellis
Year of Registration: 1912
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's Maiden Name: Turland
District: Kettering
County: Northamptonshire
Volume: 3b
Page: 241 (click to see others on page)

Sarah's sister Maud Turland was married to a Walter William Turland - Walters Father, Making Sarah, Walters aunt by marriage?

Like I said I maybe barking up the wrong tree here so it would be fab if anyone could dig up any other more solid info on the possible marriage, if it took place.

Yes I found Maud and Walter. I have all of their families.
