Find Ancestors

I am trying to find a marriage cert for a Ada Spurr born in Nottingham 1903 to a William and Lizzie Spurr. I believe she married possibly someone in the high commision for jamaica? They lived on a plantation there sometime in the 1950s? Cannot find a marriage for her as I do not know spouses name.
Any help gratefully received!

Have you tried Search All Trees which is under SEARCH on the right hand top of the page to see if anybody else has her in their tree ?

Any idea if she had any children?
If she did, then what were their names, dates of birth?

You don't need to know the spouse's name to look for a marriage

If her spouse was with the Jamaican High Commission in England, the odds are they married in England

Have found a possible marriage for Ada on all of the various searches. I have a Ada Spurr marrying a john french in 1938 (which sounds a good possibility)....This Ada was born in 1903/4? But I cannot find whether this is the Ada I am looking for.....as I cannot cross check if this is the Ada born in nottingham and her mothers maiden name? Any help?

Hello Maria, is this the marriage you found?

England & Wales, Marriage Index, 1916-2005

Name: Ada Spurr
Spouse : John French
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1938
Registration District: Hemel Hempstead
Inferred County: Hertfordshire
Volume Number: 3a
Page Number: 4481

How do you know that this Ada was born 1903 - do you have the certificate?

If you don't have it then buying it will confirm, by the father's details on it, whether or not it is the right one.
