I'm afraid names are far too common to be able to find definite marriages. Have you tried to see if anyone on genes has them in their trees?

Thank you both for all the advice I was well out with the birth dates wasnt I I found my auntie may in portsmouth a week before she died as nobody told me anything about my fathers side thought i was after something thats the impression I got as my couzens wouldnt tell me anything till i said were were they buried which they told me and I went from there

joyce

sorry alviegal
forgot to mention I tried everything on genes search for all the queries Ive got to find but nobody is tracing them

You should be using freebmd to look for info about BMD's. That would mean you had accurate info, which would make your task so much easier

As the name Harry Richards is not unique, you will have to buy a copy of the marriage cert to find out his father's name, if you wish to pursue his history
