Hello Listers I am new to this group, but thought I would try to muster some help with the marriage of my Great GrandUncle Thomas SMALLWOOD (a Bridgeport Police Officer for 30 years), he married a German girl called EMMA. At least according to the Fairfield 1920 census, both of her parents were of German origin. Thomas was born in England 23rd February 1881, he arrived in NY 1890 with his father William SMALLWOOD, Thomas died in July 1963, his social security number was 049-20-8444. Would it be possible to find out when he was married to Emma, and subsequently what her previous surname was. Her parents details would be a bonus.
