Good Evening John Well I am coming to the conclusion that we might have a match. I will send all I have to you as soon as I get the further copies along with the witnesses of each marriage I also think the signatures could help. My cousin who is not at all well is starting to send each photo through ,but one by one none have a name, is it any use sending them to you like that I will have to get my daughter in law in to do any cutting /pasting etc but she will understand directions.
