Name:Lucy Sivier

Spouse Surname:James W Lowes
Registration district:Croydon

Date of Registration:Apr-May-Jun 1924


Inferred County:Surrey

Volume Number:2a

Page Number:780


Is this the same marriage?

I would say the name is possibly mistranscribed in the index and the cross stroke of the T in Towes missed
