Hi loujay, welcome to the boards.

Have you tried searching for the marriage on freebmd? (http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl) It is the site most of us use to look for births, marriages and deaths up until about 1950.

To find the wife's maiden name, look for the marriage on freebmd.........

....then use the same site to look for children

Yes, that's right................

The only way to find out which - if either - is the one you need is to order the cert and check the father's details, plus, of course, the groom's age
