On freeBMD do a search for Marriage Dec 1891 ASton - no name.
Then scroll through the list (there´s quite a few) to see if you can see an entry in italics, which usually indicates an error transcription - or look for a page reference query.
On a quick look there is one for George Albert Croft with page reference given as 5[5]5
The 5 in the square brackets means the transcriber wasn´t sure if it was correct.
If you look at the actual page image you might be able to decipher it.Elaine

Thanks Elaine, there are two possibilities so am off too look at the census to try and match them up
PS I thought the same about Croft, Charles William Bell looks more likely.
Annie was born in Clifton in 1873, but may say Birmingham instead as they moved there shortly afterwards. I would expect them to be in B'ham in 1901 but may not be off course!Last edited by claretaylor22; 28-05-09, 20:12.Clare

He's a labourer down the sewers and a lot older than her born c.1860. When you look at the original the name actually looks more like Orton than Arton.
They have a 5 yr old daughter called Gertrude Anne, born Leicester
ancestry births has a John Henry Ernest Orton born 1859 Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire

Yes I thought that too Elaine but it seems that 535 for 6d Dec 1891 has 4 names so am throughly confused!!:(

And according to 1911 Census there are a John and Catherine Sheldon in Aston who married in 1891 living in Aston!! That means it is my groom who is missing:(
Gallowaylass I have checked John Henry E Orton married in 1896 and would you believe it the ref for him isn't clear either but I think he can be ruled out as he married in Leicestershire:(Clare
