Cheers Keith, very much appreciated. John

Brilliant Mary - thanks a lot.. John

Mary, you beat me to it lol.

Here she is:

Marriages Jun 1919 (>99%)
Walsh Bertha E / Nunn / Auckland 10a _59

Found on FreeBMD by searching for Walsh, married Auckland in June quarter 1919.

It didn't appear on the right page because the transcriber couldn't read the first number, and left it blank.

Very grateful Mary for your help.. John

This is presumably the one:

Marriages Jun 1919 (>99%)
Nunn John R / Walsh / Auckland 10a 559

If you click on the number 559 you get all the marriages on the page:

Marriages Jun 1919 (>99%)
Bussey Annie Vickers Auckland 10a 559
Hodgson Isabel Stevens Auckland 10a 559
>> Nunn John R Walsh Auckland 10a 559
Vickers Arnold Bussey Auckland 10a 559

However, as your Nunn married a Walsh there seems to be an indexing error somewhere.

You can check the *complete* BMD index on Ancestry to find her name.

If you don't have an Ancestry sub, somebody will find it for you.

Many thanks Reg, I didn't know that.. John

Many thanks Keith..very much appreciated..John

Are you putting in the year?

Better not to.........

Don't forget that after 1911, the second name is not listed in full.........just the initial (if anything).....so just use the one forename.........

Reg

There is this one there
Q2 1919

Nunn John R, Walsh Auckland 10a 559

I found that by entering Nunn John, marriage, all counties, all districts, mar 1919-dec1919,
Auckland covers Shildon.

If you click on the page number (559) it will bring up all people on that page,
Marriages Jun 1919 (>99%)

Bussey Annie Vickers Auckland 10a 559

So much for that lol. There must be some mis-transcription somewhere.

Hi Mary - Marriage John Robert Nunn. 1919 in Shildon, Cunty Durham.. Regards, John

Can you give us an example of a search that hasn't worked for you? You won't find anything after about 1920 (see the coverage page), but you should get good results before that.

Many thanks Keith, very grateful.. Regards. John

Many thanks Mary, much appreciated.. John

Cheers Sam, Suppose I was looking and expecting too much from the 'free bmd',site' .. Many thanks, John

You should be on this page:

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

Select birth, marriage or death, enter the name you want, and possibly the county and dates, and click on Find.

Many thanks Joan.... John

Sorry Minnie, had to leave in an emerg..Have got free bmd main page, rolled down to Search (in red) on the left.Click on - no response/ Hope I'm on the same BMD as you John

Sometime less info entered is better, if the criteria does not match, it wont show, broaden your search scope and dont forget to use wildcard characters if needed in the search.
? will replace one letter in a name,
* will replace more than one.

For instance Fra* will return instances of Francis, Frances, and any other combination of letters after Fra.

? will return any letter in the position placed, ie Franc?s will return Frances and Francis.

And as Elizabeth says, it is not yet complete, I am currently transcribing 1927 births, others are doing deaths and other marriages. So ongoing, and updated about every 3-4 weeks or so. You can check the coverage on the site.

It is not complete yet-a "work in progress"
