Thanks Dea. I tried there and I couldn't see it. I went through all the parish records for Barrow Upon Humber, Freereg and I just couldn't find them. I must be going blind.

Thank you for that information PrickyHolly. I had a possible death for him as 1912 but nothing for her.

I am trying to do that 52 week challenge so I need as much info about him as possible.

Thank you both for your help

Well, you would not have found it in Barrow upon Humber Parish records as they married in Holy Trinity Church in Hull ;-)

Thanks Dea As I couldn't find it I decided that she would probably have got married in her home village of Barrow Upon Humber. I didn't realise she had moved to Hull.

Thanks again for all your help.
