Welcome to the boards Christine

Born in Leicester or lived in Leicester at some point?

Married Charlton or Cain when and where?

Births Jun 1884 (>99%)
Sherriff Amy Leicester 7a 201

plus another one born in Leicester 1977

This site is free to access and will help you look for births, marriages and deaths up to around 1983, no mmn given pre Q3 1912. Age at death only from mid 1860's
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

and this one, also free for births and deaths. will give you mmn pre 1912 and goes through to 2020. Age at death on all records
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates

Using them in combination sometimes helps as the GRO site can only be searched in 5 year chunks, and by male and female separately.

Both are well worth exploring and getting to know how to use.

Christine. It would help enormously if you gave some sort of time line and tell us what you actually want to know.
