Hi Pam, There is no easy way and it is made more difficult by the fact that Free BMD is not complete. It can be slightly easier to locate the brides because by the following census Bill BLOGGS and Mary ???? might have produced children. If there is only one Mary registered at this time and place it should be a fairly accurate guess. This is no good if a Mary SMITH and Mary BROWN were married in the same quarter and carry the same Reg Reference! You simply cannot guess because you could end up wasting hours, days and years researching someone who aint yours! Mike Waterlooville
