Richmond Joseph Driffield 9d 468

Rather than guess at a marriage it would be better to get Ruth's surname from a child, - your ancestor's birth certificate.

Have you looked on freebmd - its free - where have you looked so far.

When was the first child born? Buy the birth cert for mums maiden name. You do have to spend some ,money to ensure you have the right info and to move onwards

I hope you will go to freebmd and find these yourself and then buy the certificates to get back a further generation - certs are £7 from GRO online with the GRO ref which you get from the freebmd result.

Do go there and look for yourself, its so much more satisfying.

I'm having trouble with finding the marriage for my great great grandparents, I would love to know my great great grandmother's surname. I don't know the exact date but it's around 1880. I know where she was born and approx. age from the census. Their names are Joseph Richmond and Ruth (born c.1855, in Middleton on the Wold, Yorks). Their first child was also born here.

My husband is also have trouble finding the marriage of his great grandparents, this marriage would have been about 1890. Their names are John Jackson and Mary J. (b. c1868). I know Mary was born in Sproxton, Leics. I'm not sure whether the marriage was in Leics or Lincs because John is from Lincs and their children were born in Lincs.

Any ideas? Thanks
