I am doing very well and have, with the help of these sites, found my family back to the middle of the 18th century. BUT, the mother is never mentioned on the birth records unless she was unmarried!! |

Assuming you are talking about BMD ref numbers for dates after 1837, the wife will have the same Page and Volume number as the husband. |

If you have a page number and volume it must be for a marriage after 1837 when civil registration started. clicking on the page number (in Ancestry) lets you see the names of the other people on that page, the bride would be one of them. If you then have the couple on the following census, you should have her first name,so unless you have two women of the same first name on the marriage list,you can usually tell who she is, only the certificate will prove it of course. |

If you have page and volume numbers it must be 19th century marriages you are looking at. On ancestry you can click on the page number and get the other names on the page. |

freebmd links couples together using the district and volume and page numbers e.g. district = Wycombe, volume = 3a, page number = 214 |
