Hi Mick, If you send a scan of the wedding photo to http://www.churches-uk-ireland.org/ Steve Bulman steve@stevebulman.f9.co.uk who's site it is will post it on the Unknown Churches page and then you will also get help from the people there, and when it is up you could post a link here. As for Ancestry, just looking at Q1 1944, there are 16 pages missing from the S' which I have reported to Ancestry. You can tell because Image 60 is page 299 while 61 is page 316. You could always go for the Pay per View at http://www.findmypast.com/home.jsp and do a search on her name. I believe their copy is more complete.
