	Here is Henry and Emily's marriage registration, from www.freebmd.org.uk Marriages Dec 1893 (>99%) Nightingale Emily Edmonton 3a 548 Wood Henry Edward Edmonton 3a 548 If you do not have this, you should obtain it because it will tell you the names of the 2 fathers and their occupations, as well as where Henry and Emily lived and their occupations. Plus the names of the witnesses can help trace the family back. Henry Wood is quite a common name, and it is not easy to sort out which is yours without the name of his father. You have to buy bmd certificates, the information is not available anywhere for free. Go to www.gro.gov.uk, click on Ordering Certificates Online and follow instructions. The GRO reference number is the set of 2 numbers after Edmonton Each certificate will cost £7 sylvia
