Not sure how you would search with just Adeline- i searched the William Blewitts within a reaonable time frame looking for an Adeline bride but failed too, sorry still, at least you have learned to sort births/deaths and marriages! jess

Hi Sammy, The option shows Births, Marriages and Deaths altogether, but the deaths come up first. If you keep going to the next page will marriages come up eventually? Linda

If you mean on the Civil Reg part, then you can chose which record to view. See the ''Record Type'' option? Click on the down arrow, then select MARRIAGES Hope this helps Sam

I am trying to look for a marriage on Ancestry with just the christian name of the bride and area. It just seems to show Deaths. If I keep going through these will I eventually come to marriages? Thanks Linda
