Ridiculous as it seems, 99.99% of readers can't see the surname and can't trace your post to the "surname board" it was posted on.

You should edit your subject line to include the surnames.

Also, dates are kind of essential.

Not to mention some idea of what it is you would like to know! and maybe a please ...

?

If what you're wanting is ancestors,

(a) the marriage certificate will give you their ages and fathers' names (hopefully)

(b) it should be possible to find them in the 1901 census to get their approx DOBs and places of birth and then trace them in earlier censuses.


If you have that info, you can search the censuses at Ancestry.co.uk

The complete 1881 census is free of charge. You can't see details in other censuses, but you can search and see basic info.
