Got a bit of a dilema on my hands

I have found this marriage in 1919

GRIFFITHS John GRIFFITHS Mary A Dudley Register Office Dudley Register Office DRO/042/179


Now, I know that we have a John (Jack) Griffiths who married his cousin Cissie Griffiths around 1918. The above is the only Griffiths/Griffiths marriage record I can find around that time, but the girl is Mary A, not Cissie.

I'm wondering if Cissie is a nickname/family name and not her given name.

Posting a lookup for this too.

Nutsy cannot do look up cos it is a registry office!

Darn it!! Didn't see that Thanks NL

Guess I can only assume that Mary A and Cissie are the same person.

Births Mar 1918
Griffiths John Griffiths Dudley 6b 1585

John was born 1889 in Cradley Heath, but don't know about Cissie

From what I know they lived in or around Cradley Heath.

Have no idea who their kids are, or even if they had kids.

Think then you will have to send for the marriage to be sure

soz nutsy

unless otherwise advised flagging this for archiving within 24 hrs

No worries NL.. that's what I thought it would come to and have just told MickC the same. Maybe he'll order the cert seeing as how he's in England.

I'd do it if I didn't have to pay some ridiculous amount for an International Cheque

check with the regis office I am sure I asked this on behalf of our dutch friend a while ago and you can pay online via the regis office and I am not sure it costs anymore....but worth an ask

Ta muchly NL... will look into that.

Have mentioned this record to MickC and he tells me his son is into family research in a big way and has been getting certs from Dudley, so he is going to ask him about getting this one. So, hopefully we will know if these are the people I'm looking for soon.
