Re: Marriage 1912 Smethwick Old Church for Mjay
Firstly Thanks for adding to bcc
Looking at this again and several bits of paper trying to work it out,
I'm wondering if i dismissed this too soon
Could this William who married Edith be this Williams son

Hope this makes sense!!
Off to do more digging x
