cannot anyone help us we are searching for a lady called JEAN E WILSON BORN 1925 who lived in warrington briefly and married a GI FROM BURTONWOOD BASE.
we have tried using the burtonwood friends and all the rest that can help us, yet there is no record of this marriage.
could jean have left our shores as a miss, and married her airman in his native land, or was this not allowed
also if this is the case how can we trace this marriage thanks
