Hi Donna

I've looked on www.freebmd.org.uk, which is the place to search for all births marriage and death certificates from September 1837 to ca 1930 or 25 . they will catch up to the present day soon.


I could't find the marriage, but here is Maud's birth certificate


Births Dec 1894 (>99%)

OWERS Maud Bethnal G. 1c 248


If you send off for this, you will find mother's maiden name

go to www.gro.gov.uk, click on Ordering Ceritifcates Online and follow instructions.


Each certificate will cost £7
