	Hi there, I am trying to trace a possible marriage of Edmund M Clarke and Maud Hunt - perhaps Romford around 1917. Edmund may have been born C1895 and Maud born C1890 and she died I believe around 1937in Barkingside There may have been a daughter born - Nita Vera Clarke about 1920. I don't seem to be having much success in veryifying these details. Ultimately, I am trying to find the birth parents for Edmund. Any help that can be provided would be most welcomed. Regards, Eric Melbourne Australia

	That's all the marriages on that page Marriages Sep 1917 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chandler Eliza M Vaughan Romford 4a 886 Clarke Edmund M Hunt Romford 4a 886 <<<<<<<< Harmer William W Folkes Romford 4a 886 Hunt Maude E Clarke Romford 4a 886 <<<<<<<<<<<<< Vaughan Sidney S Chandler Romford 4a 886 so the refernce you need to order it is 1917, Sep Qtr, Volume number 4a, page number 886 Only order from the GRO cost £7 but increasing to £9.25 from April. EDIT The cerificate will give his father's name and occupation so you can then identify him (hopefully on the 1911 census!)

	There is a possibility his Edmunds middle name was Matthew ...... My reason for researching this is that I have a marriage in 1939 in Scotland for Edmund Matthew Clarke to Mary Morrison (she is a direct relative). I also have a Nita Clarke married in Scotland, so I am assuming these 2 may be the same people!! They may have moved up to Scotland after Maud Hunt's death in 1937 .... dates tie in very well. Given the timing of marriages in Scotland, I cannot view the actual record (would need to order)

	That explains it ... thanks for that! Not too familiar with the English records I'm afraid.

	This is very helpful. I have ordered the Scottish records which should arrive in about 6 weeks! The above details will help determine whether we have the same family. Thanks all!! Eric Metung Australia
