Can anyone help me find the bride's matching record. The groom is Joseph G Eccles married Apr-Jun 1925 in N.Bierley. It shows the spouse as Wood but I've looked through all the Woods for that quarter and can't find an Eccles. A fresh pair of eyes on this could just do the trick. Thanks very much. xxx

She must be on page 531 or 533, which are missing from Ancestry... hold on. I might have access to it :)

The name is Ada M. Wood. The page was missing from Ancestry. Kath. x

Is the bride's name before Catherine alphabetically? The page is missing. Janice

Oops. too slow!!

when you search ancestry for wood marriages in that quarter it starts with (Catherine Wood) if you go to previous page it ends with (Annie wolfendon) so their are pages missing, i would look for those pages on 1837 online Roy

Ahh, beat me to it Kath lol

I can't believe how quick you lot are. Thank you so much. That's who I was expecting it to be but was kind of hoping it wouldn't be as I've been unable to find her birth so I thought if another name came up that would solve the mystery. Hey ho. xxx

What does the M stand for and how old was she when she got married?

If you get the marriage certificate, it should give you an idea of how old she was and therefore when she was born (that's if she didn't lie about her age, as most of my lot did!!). Kath. x

I've actually got her date of birth and middle name - 11/9/1901 and Maud. Also date of death 1977. Got this info from family but not sure if they're accurate 'cos someone else has been doing research and I think some of the info has come from assumptions.

I've just seen one in N.Bierley actually but I think there was some reason we had discounted this one. Can't remember now I'm so confused. Will have to go back and ask some questions I think

The date of birth you have is the same as the one in the death indexes - 3rd qtr of 1977 Bradford Janice

Ooh. That was it. Someone went to Bradford register office to get her certificate but they said she wasn't born there.

Don't forget, you have 6 weeks to reg a birth, so this is prob her, in the following Q: Births Dec 1901 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wood Ada Maud Darlington 10a 13 Merry

The only other possibility is an Ada Maud in Clitheroe.

Janice where did you find the death index. I can't find it in ancestry

The word Bradford on the death indexes relates to where she died, not where she was born! Janice, I didn't even notice the Clitheroe birth reg LOL!! I was so busy assuming Sharon might not have considered the following Q, I didn't look in the Sept Q as well!! Shame on me! LOL Merry

Sharon I found it on the beta death indexes on ancestry. Janice

Tee hee. I've started something now haven't I? I'm getting cross with myself now. So you're looking in Jul-Sep 1977? I can see 4 Ada's all born in 18something in Leeds, Sheffield, Chesterfield & Slough.
