Hi there Just wondering if anyone can help. I have a Martha Kate Sly b. 1879 who married either Henry Mullinger or Frank Worley at Portsmouth in 1903(Record no. 2b 974). I have looked in every area as much as I think I can, so I am asking if any member of this list has these males in their tree and know who my Martha Kate Sly married. Thanks for any help. Cheers Clive Sandon

The 1900 Portsmouth registration district replaced the pre-1900 districts of Portsmouth and Portsea and so includes a large number of church parishes to search which in itself may prove fruitless if they married in the Register Office or in a non-conformist church/chapel. There are only really two sure-fire ways open to you - either wait for the 1911 census to see if there is a Martha Kate Mullinger or Worley (of course, Martha may have died by then or her husband might have died by then and Martha remarried) - or to send for the marriage cert.

A couple of other things to check: 1) contact the Portsmouth Record Office to see if the marriage has been card indexed (only church marriages though and easier if you are in the UK) 2) if the marriage lasted a few years and they had offspring spread over a few years then checking the birth registrations from September quarter 1911 onwards may throw up Worley/Sly or Mullinger/Sly combinations, since the mother's maiden name is included in the index files from that time.
