There was a Rebecca Thomas marrying in Hull, with a Mr Jodan on same page


Marriages Mar 1898

Foots Eliza Hull 9d 315
FORTS Eliza Hull 9d 315
Jordan Albert Percy Hull 9d 315
Stark John Thomas Hull 9d 315
Thomas Rebecca Annie Hull 9d 315


But whether that was her maiden name or a previous married name only the certificate will tell

Then order online from: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ The cost is £9.25, don't use commercial sites they usually charge more.

Mike, did you look at the images (13008), I think they may have discovered he was only 16, not 17 as he stated, and sent him home 5/8/1914 or am I reading this wrong?
