Lisa I can't find the 2nd marriage under either her maiden or married name but I can find her 1st. QE Jun 1933, Muriel Hendrie & Christopher C Russell, W Derby, Vol 8b, Page 627. If you ordered the cetificate (£7) it would give you her age, fathers name, her & her fathers occupation, etc. Then you get back to her birth certificate. Where did you get the 2nd marriage date from? Rachel

If you wouldn't mind looking that would be great. Her first husband was Christopher C Russell they married in 1933 in West Derby. Hendrie is Muriels maiden name.

Lisa 1837 site is the best bet, I have a few spare credits to help if you want. After 1911 they started to show the spouses surnames on marriage index so to help: Is Hendrie her maiden name or married (1st marriage) name? If its her maiden name, do you know when she married first, or even better her 1st spouses surname? The good thing about weddings is that they get registered straight away (as far as I know) so the second marriage would have been registed QE June 1941 which narrows the search down a lot. If you managed to get their 2nd wedding certificate it'll give you her father's name, occupation and also it'll give you her age so you can go about finding her birth certificate. Rachel

Help? I am trying to find the marriage of my Grandmother and Grandfather but I have no idea where in the country they married. Their names are Harry Shaw and Muriel Hendrie the date of marriage is 15/05/1941, I have no idea where to start, Muriel married firstly in 1933 but some time after divorced. That was in West Derby. Any ideas?
