Thread: New searcher

Hi,

I've just retired and am taking the time to look for my ancestors - so far got back a couple of generations but stuck looking for marriages of some of them!

Lots to look up so making the effort! The name I am looking for is Woodley from the Southampton or South Stoneham area - maybe IOW as well.

Hope to get to exchange info with some of you soon. Regards, Mike

Hi Mike,

Welcome to Ancestry Aid,

Good luck with your researsh.

Hello and welcome....



Congrats on your retirment, you will wonder how you found the time to go to work. This hobby can become quite addictive.



WOODLEY, unfortunately you do not give a time frame, however for starters try this free site www.freebmd.org.uk



this covers the years Sept 1837 from when formal registration started ( it wasn't compulsory until 1874) onward, not all records have been transcribed.



There are about 20 WOODLEY marriages showing as having taken place in the Southampton registration area in the period 1845 - 1948
