Trying to find the marriage date and place of Dora Trixie King. It is likely in the 1920s.
--Also trying to find any of her living descendants.

Dora Trixie King was born 05Apr1897 at Wymer, Norwich, NFK, a daughter of Thomas George King (1866-1953) & Alice Hubbard (1869-1939). In the 1911 UK Census, she is listed living with her parents and brother, Ernest Edward King (1899-1990).
I do not know the name of her husband. A letter from Ernest dated 1957 revealed that he'd not heard from her since 1922; but knew she'd married, had 4 daughters and that 3 of them were then married with families of their own.

Do you have any idea of the area? There are quite a few marriages for Dora King in the 1920's

Wow! Thank you all for your prompt replies.
I'd waded through dozens of "Dora King" listings in the Marriage registry; but hadn't yet run through all the "Trixie King" listings thoroughly.
'Jonesey' s suggestion seems very promising.

Have PMd you with some possible births in West Derby 4 girls + 1 boy - they could be possibilities

IF Jonesey's marriage is the right one, there is a possible link to W.Derby, Lancashire, this birth:
Births Mar 1896 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Graham William Edward W. Derby 8b 478

There were no marriages on freebmd for the above in the W.Derby area, so if he did get married it would have been in another district.

Scrub this - he died later in 1896 registered W.Derby

As you have the date of birth for Dora/Trixie, could do with looking up a death under Graham to see if one ties up - someone with an Ancestry sub should be able to do that for you.

mac, that's another good idea. I have a trial sub to Ancestry.
----------
Have now attempted finding a death record for Dora Trixie Graham and variants of the name on Ancestry--but nothing comes of it
Tried the same on FamilySearch's beta site; but there's nothing there either.
Oh well. That King / Graham marriage may pan out yet. It'll just take another approach and more time.
Thanks again!
