Use freebmd to look for info

Look in 'search all trees' on here

Where did the marriage take place?

EDIT

Found it..............correct surname info would have helped

Marriages Mar 1942 (>99%)
Coutts Arthur J Gale Poole 5a 891
Gale Elsie D M Coutts Poole 5a 891

The daughter's birth is on freebmd............so you can easily find it........and her marriage

If Arthur returned to Scotland, finding info about him will mean looking at Scotlands people site, which is pay-to-view.

You can purchase 30 credits for £7.00

Do you know the names of his parents?

In that case.....you need to get the marriage cert, to find out Arthur's declared age................and his father's details.

As Tracy only posted this two months ago, I doubt whether she has changed her email address...so would give it a week or two before trying to find her other ways
