As all are males, and thus unlikely to change their surnames, you should be able to find their marriages and deaths on the free records on Ancestry.........use the following (minus brakcets) Marriages http://www.ancestry(.)co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8965 Deaths http://www.ancestry(.)co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8966 It may be a slow process, but all it will cost is time............good luck Reg

You don't mention the girls........are you OK with them? Just in case, here's Florence's marriage............unfortunately, only one male transcribed, so, unless you know who she married, you may need the cert.............

Yes, that is the one I found Ethel A Ball. Everytning that you have found so far I have allready. I feel as though I have come to a dead end. Certs, perhaps are the answer! Is there an easier way? It becomes so expensive to get certificates, but as I said earlier I shall persevere! I have a lot more Pryors
