Thread: Which Marriage

I have four prospective marriages for Alfred Nash b1884 St George in the East. How do I find which one is the right one?

I don't know of any children.

Yes her name was Mary Ann and I have found three marriages after that date 1911 Poplar and 1912 Mile End 1914 Poplar all with the name of Alfred Nash but I don't know which is the right one. I have no family members to ask either which makes it harder.

Thanks for your input emeltee

Hi slizzy..Thanks for your help too...No I found the references on A******* but I have had a job. I wish he had a second name.
I have never been on GRO, didn't know about it thanks for your prompt.
I think I'll call it a day now and start again in the morning, might be a little fresher. Goodnight.

I'm starting this up again as I haven't got any further with it myself.

I have Lydia Jane Ellis married Alfred Nash West Ham 1906
or Alice Bennett in 1906

Mary Dickson June 1908
or Ada Francis Pestel

Also.. Ellen Howcutt June 1914.

All these ladies married a Alfred Nash but which Alfred is mine...and how do I sort it without getting a marriage certificate??

Thanks
