Some good news for you, Keith. I checked FreeBMD & found they don't yet have 100% cover for 1904 to 1906, so I checked 1837online for these years & found the following Emily CHARGE Dec 1905 Watford 3a 1365 I then checked for William Joseph SMITH, but couldn't find him in the same quarter. There was a William Henry SMITH married in Watford in the same quarter, but the reference was 3a 1346. Regards Geoff Morse

looking for Mansfield around Watford 1790-1820 thanks, Bryant---

I used the free images available on the FreeBMD site http://images.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/choose.pl to look for Emily and then checked the SMITHs for William and Joseph. There was nothing that matched William or William Joseph but I found this one for Joseph - do you think it's the one?
