    Hello

    Go to the Free BMD.

    If you were searching for this marraige you would fill in the names section.

    On the right hand side under districts click "all districts" and underneath in the counties click " all counties" --the top bit in both sections.

    As you think thought the marraige was around 1917 it is as well to put in a fairly wide time span, I put in from March 1912 --December 1920

    Then at the bottom click Search.

    It is easy when you get the hang of it but it took me a little while!

    When the marraige appears you will see it took place in Coventry in the 1st quarter of 1917

    (It won't say the 1st quarter it will say March --birth, marraiges and deaths are arranged in quarters of the year so any registrations between 1st January & 31st March will be in the 1st quarter etc..)

    Underneath you will see the volume number. So you could write to Coventry registry office giving the names, date and number and you could buy the certificate --cost about £8.

    You know the name of the lady that Joseph married but if you didn't, to find her name what you would have to do is to go back to the search section leaving the name section blank and just filling in the date putting in the same date in both date sections and filling in the volume number. You would then see all the marraiges which took place under that volume number at that time.

    If only 2 names appear then obviously the two married each other - the difficulty comes when several names appear then you don't know whio married who --that takes more research like looking for births and on the census returns.

    I fi can help more please ask. Best Wishes.
