Hi i'm stuck trying to find my grandparents marriage. They are George Henry Jones and Alice Elizabeth (nee Smith).I dont have a date but by my father was born in 1914, registered Hawarden, and they already have 2 older children, Hetty, eldest and then George.
They were living then at 70 farm Road, Garden City,
Sealand, Deeside. He was an electrical engineer,I think he worked at Shotten steelworks.
My father was William George Victor.There were three more children
after him, Ivor, Victor and Betty, by then they had moved to Wallasy.
I think my grandparents died within a few years of each other at the end of WW2 in Wallasy.
i cant find their marriage dates, and dont know their birthdatesor whether my grandfather had any siblings. i do know my grandmother had at least one sister.hope someone has some ideas for me how to move forward, they will be greatly appreciated
thankyou, Andrea James

Likely to be them I think as Birkenhead is in the general area of Cheshire & Merseyside - you do need to put counties in, I agree with Paula.

Thats great, I had been looking earlier because of my father being the third child and he was born 1914. this would mean they had 3 children in 2 years, but I had heard they had 'had' to get married because Hetty was on the way.
whoa! your search machines must be really fast, thankyou very much everyone. I've been searching for daysand am going square eyed

Thanks, I think that must be them,
Wallasy is in Cheshireand Its close to Birkenhead. Sealand where they lived in 1914 is in Flintshire on the border of Chesire, all within very close radius of each other.
Thanks for the freeBMD tip. It will be easier.
