cheers, it's all coming together gradually.
i've had more luck on my nan's side than my grandads lol, so i'll try him now lol
thanks

OK
So what you need to do now is to buy the two certificates........Edward's birth and his parents' marriage. They cost £7 each to order online from the site I sent you if you use the code numbers we found for you. Those record which volume and which page of the registers the information is on and which area.
You need all that information and you must tick the box to say you have the full index details.

It takes a couple of weeks or so for certificates to be delivered but that will give you enough to go back a bit.

I suggest you read the various useful sites threads on the Tips board because this will enable you do go ahead and do your own research which will be satisfying.

Paul this is why I never open my tree to anyone...I would glad lypass any information with regards any rellies that are connected to them but not let them see my tree as I have done this once he copied all my tree that wasnt even related to him and them opened his tree and they did the same.....

The other two names are simply two people married in the same area and in the same quarter. Don't worry about them.
The Fowler bride is yours because the birth indexes show the children had a mother with that maiden name. Earlier certificates don't record that but more recent ones do.

Sue

Paul - the other people are just recorded on the same page. They are just another couple that got maried they are not connected to your couple. I used Free BMD for the search.

thanks sue

thanks.
and yes snap lol.
it's great people can help each other, much appreciated.
who are other 2 names on the marriage one

lol

That marriage certificate will give you the fathers so you can then look at censuses

Frederick Cunningham ought to be a not too common name to look for on the 1901 census too.
