Helping my girlfriend do her family tree (should help when we come to merge trees ) and one side of her family is from Austria.

Her grandad fought in the war and met her gran whilst in Austria. They were married in the UK but I cant find the cert as I dont know the location.

What other avenues could I take?

Can you not pick them up by a rough year and names using freebmd?

If you give the names someone may help.

Thanks Jo

I did try on there - the names were Thomas Albert Stephenson and Ilse Klara Jaeckel - Guess which one is Austrian!

What sort of time frame are you looking at?
Jo

Thomas Born 1921 - Isle born 1927
So 40s or 50s i guess and marriage may have been liverpool area?

May be here?
