Hello Fowler

Might this be her marriage?

England & Wales, Marriage Index, 1916-2005

Iris R Thurlow

Spouse Surname:
Long...Ernest H W
Date of Registration:
Jul-Aug-Sep 1948
Registration District:
Ilford

Essex
Volume Number:

There is another Iris R Thurlow, married 1946 in Hitchin

Both ladies were born In Romford

Misty x

There are no Long/Thurlow births in Essex that would fit in....

Have you got her birth certificate, and have looked for any siblings for her?

Is Iris Ray Thurlow born in 1944 in someone's tree on here also connected?

Thank-you

thanks for your help I also found the above marriage and wondered if it was I was adopted so do not have all that much information I do not know how old she was or when she was born or the fathers name so I think I am looking at a needle in a hay stack. thanks

If you haven't already done so, add yourself to the national adoption contact register

There were two births in Essex for Iris R Thurlow.........and two marriages.

In which year were you born?

That might help with pinpointing the right Iris.

So, either birth could be your mother........that's a blow

The only way to find out for sure is to purchase the certs.................it's unlikely, I would have thought, that both had the second forename Ray.
