How do I find out who he married?

I've tried looking for births from 1911 but the mothers maiden name isn't there. I guess I'll have to buy the cert to find out.

Thanks everybody.

If they had children and if I remember correctly the Mother's maiden name is recorded on Free BMD from about 1911 so you might get lucky!

Good luck!

ok, i just looked and see what you mean, two men one woman listed, strange, possibly only partly transcribed

That's not necessarily the woman he married. If the whole page hasn't been transcribed yet, there could be one bride missing (and another groom).

You could look for children born with the Garrett surname with the mother's maiden name that appears.

Is there no other way to find the other person without buying the certificate?

by ordering the certificate maybe?

did you click see others on page and there was only one woman listed, if thats the case, she is the woman he married

I've found a marriage for Herbert Edward L Garrett in Sept Qtr 1907 but there is only 1 lady's name. How can I find out whether he married her or who the other one could be?

Thanks
