Not showing marriage on free bmd - where did you get it from, and how are you connected to them?

Thank-you

I'm not seeing a Croft/Reaney marriage in 1898?

There are several possibilities for Ellen Reaney in Sheffield before the marriage, so you will need the cert for her father's name.

Susan originally PM'd me with this query, I advised her to post on the boards.

Found this:

Name: Evelyn M Crofts
Age: 1
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1900

Mother: Ellen Crofts
Birth Place: Sheffield, Yorkshire, England
