For the marriage cert of Edward it would also be great to tie in his fathers occupation, so here's George in 1901;

Albert (Edward) in 1901 is lodging with the Platfords.......... there is a tree on ancestry for Frederick Platford......... it seems the wife is Alice Sarah Wilson.... Albert (Edwards) sister!!!

I can't find a marriage for them though.

Grainne,

there are some lovely people on the boards, and I'm sure like myself they have made some good internet friends by doing searches for them, it's so nice to have the updates as often we don't get to know what the certifcates state when we point people into a direction, so thank you for giving us the updates.

Maureen.... aw shucks honey... thank you (hides her blushes).

Friday the 13th....... um I wonder if that's why my connection keeps dropping out??? Getting frustrated and it's hampering my searches!!! Roll on tomorrow!
