Here's where to look.............................it's where anyone else would look

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

This is a possiblilty.........................you'd have to invest the marriage cert to confirm the father's details

Death
Name: STRAND, Sarah Ann
Registration district: Carlisle
County: Cumberland
Year of registration: 2001
Month of registration: September
Date of Birth:20 May 1927
District no: 3751B
Reg no: B64E

If you do find that it's the right Sarah............and that her marriage produced offspring.................remember that you must not include them in your GR tree unless you have permission from each of them

Someone called Margaret has both children in her tree, are you in contact?

You can find the address's of where the children were born on their birth certs same as the marriage cert will give addresses of the bride and groom

So was there really over 30 years age gap between them Sarah looks to have been born 1904

Can you tell us why you think the 1911 marriage was Thomas's, when the glass you mention doesn't record any first names

People will help if they can, but you must give some location info

Where was the 1911 marriage you mentioned?

Im sorry to be a pain, but the Jeffries family is hard to fathom out for me ,i have a John Jeffriesb. 1820 who married Elizabeth Swingwood b.1821 they went onto have 13 children, their son Thomas b.1843 married Matida Price b.1846 they had 11 children.... its their son Thomas b. 1873 that i am looking for a marriage for ,two names came up on BMD, but i dont know how to find out who he married! MY PROBLEM is that JOHN JEFFRIES b. 1820 had a brother who also married and had about 11-13 children and his children have the same names as Johns children.. I know the difinate year of his marriage was 1911 because i am in possession of an engraved crystal glass that was at his reception, but it only states Mr & Mrs Jeffries. Im sorry but i dont have access to other sites this one i have found to be a problem THANKS TO ALL, FOR LOOKING UP INFO FOR ME

How can you look for possible relatives if you do not know who he married or if the marriage in 1911 is actually the same person


Looks like he was born in Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire
