His father had an unusual first name (Wilson)and the only marriage refernece I could find for a Wilson Lakin on FreeBMD was to a Annie Elizabeth Reid (note different spelling). Can I take it that it this could be the same person? The dates would be appropriate but I'm worried about ordering the marriage cert in case it is wrong and following a wrong lead. Any advice would be very welcome.
