Hi Pauline I suggest, as you have the date and place, that you get the marriage certificate for William Ramsbottom. That will give you his father's name and occupation and his and his bride's name and address and the name of his father in law! I get my certificates from antonylambert@certificates.fsnet.co.uk. I have found him to be excellent with overseas certificates, but others may have other ideas.
