guys im a little confused what is chalk and clover ? maiden names?

Potty

Potty Report 27 Mar 2009 17:13

Yes, Chalk and Clover are mother's maiden names.

If you go to freebmd, you should be able to find marriage details, especially for the Yexley/Chalk marriage.

Are you using the search box at the top, under Advertisement? Don't - that takes you to Ancestry's site.

Click on the SEARCH (in red) lower down the screen. That will bring up a search form; select the type of record you are looking for (birth, marriage, death).

For the Yexley/Chalk marriage, just enter the two surnames, one in the Surname box and the other in Spouse/Mother surname box. As the first child was born in 1915, enter a year two or three before that in the first date range box and 1915 in the second. The marriage is there!

Hope this helps.
