Just wondering if anyone has any information on EDITH MARY SMITH she married a John Robert PARKIN.

My Grandad William was born August 1902 in Easington CoDurham.
Robert was a Miner (a linker). On Williams BC.there is an address of 3,Front Row,Horden Colliery,Shotton.
EDITH and ROBERT were my Great Grandparents.
I dont know how to obtain a Marriage cert.as I havn't got a date of when or where they married.

Personally I think Susan would have been better looking the freeBMD up herself as it is so simple to use.

Then a little advice on how to obtain the cert from:

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

Using the info given on freeBMD/Andrews post. It should cost about £7

Susan

John Robert may have been younger than he says in the 1901 census.

There is one on the 1891 census indexed as John B Parkin (father William) aged 9.

Looking on freeBMD for John Parkins born 1878 - 1883 in Easington there is only one John Robert and he was born Dec 1881.

The marriage cert should give his fathers info so you can confirm from that.
