Here is a problem that I have been trying to solve for many a long year. I inherited a rather battered silver sovereign holder that my mum was very protective of. Trouble is, I have absolutely no idea of its history and wonder if anyone out there could help please? The lettering on the top of...

Thanks for that. I must have had a "senior" moment in posting this query - having not been able to find the marriage in the indexes was just wondering if I was missing something.redf)

You have probably tried this already, but on the off chance you haven't ---- Have a look at the London Metrpolitan Archives site, have just had a look and they might be able to help.:) :)

Feeling quite frustrated as I cannot find the marriage of Richard Garibaldi Compton to Ada Florence Poynter. The 1901 census shows Ada as single. By the 1911 census she and Richard had evidently been married 10 years. Blowed if I can track the information down. Any helpwould be appreciated. Cheers

I have a Birth Cert for Annie Whitty 10/04/1928 and a Marriage cert for Annie Whitty/Charles Bromley 26/12/1951. If anyone has a use for them I am happy to send them on.

Thanks for all the help - you have got the right Richard Compton on the census and he was in the army, by 1911 he was a Gardener/Nurseryman. Certainly Ada was living in Kingston according to the 1901 census. Will have to try overseas marriages I think or even military ones, perhaps I will be...

Possible area would be Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey. Thanks for asking.

Any ideas please on the following - I have had absolutely no luck in tracing a marriage between Richard Garibaldi Compton & Ada Florence Poynter. According to the 1911 census they had been married 10 years, but nowhere can I find a record of the event. I am beginning to wonder if the marriage...
