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?

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

Try looking for a marriage on ferebmd

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

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 ?

This gives a guide and links to research in Jamaica, you could try digging about in there

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!
