Hi.
Very little info I'm afraid but looking for 1891 details, including the address, of Edward William Matthews and Ellen Matthews. Probably living in Aldershot.. No other details known.
Many thanks for any help.

Dud.

Is Ellen a sister or a spouse?

Hi. They were witnesses to a wedding. I am guessing they were married. Dud.

No luck in '91 yet, but here's a possibility for Edward.

Did your marriage include a military man? If it did this would be a very long shot.

Hi O
Yes you are quite right. The bridegroom was a soldier stationed at Aldershot. This may well be him. Dud.
