Am I missing a trick?

I am looking for a marriage between George Albert Raymond and Mary Ann Marston. George was born in 1877. Now I know that if I ask this question on here, someone will come up with a match that normally has a certain % above it. What search are you using to get this? I don't actually want to know the answer, just how to go about it a bit easier than trawling all the marriage listings. I do have the Ancestry subscription. |

Hi, the pasted info is taken from FreeBMD, and shows the percentage of records transcribed for that quarter/event. |

PS have tried it and cannot find the marriage. Maybe not transcribed yet. |

Is this your lady? If so, they Marston would appear to be her married name and you need to find her first marriage to get her original name. |

Think you are confused. It's George Albert's mother who is Mary Ann Marston. |

Yes you should pay attention to how much is transcribed. E.g., FreeBMD shows: |
