Thank you Elizabeth. I will ask about that, That's a great idea. I've
never heard of something like that. The more information we can get the
more fun it is! Makes me feel a special 'bond' to all these relatives!

It has been a while since I checked it out, but as long as you are
contacting Halifax, they have a separate file of ministers' records of
marriages that sometimes provides more information, such as the location of
the service. It might be worth checking as well.
