Of course, the ideal way is to buy the marriage certificate, using Bessie's name only :-D

£6 for a pdf sent by email from GRO

£9.25 incl p&p by mail from GRO


You can also look to see if the Parish Records are online anywhere, so that you could see a copy of the Parish Register

Look for the male on the next census to see the Christian of the wife

If both potential spouses have the same Christian name then look on the GRO site for any child born and reg and it will show mmn
