Hi Barbara. I was able to get the marriage record from Gloucester Archives. Apparently a return was never filed with the state. So yes, I do have that one. Now I will have to go back and check out Fanny's birth record to see what is there. Don't you love these conflicts ;-{ I do thank you for you help!
