At the weekend I attended a family get together, at which were hundreds of photos, unfortunately I didn't get to see half of them. However, one that I have never seen was a wedding of "Alli & Alf - 1921". Most of my grand parents and family were there. These names are not known to me. There was also a single photo of a lady Julia BACKSHALL, and is sitting next to the bride in the wedding photo. I have been looking for alternatives for Allie & ALf and assume them to be Alice & Alfred and perhaps the bride maybe Alice BACKSHALL, but my searches failed to find any matches. Can any of you assist with find them, which may lead to new branch of my tree? Rex
Rex, How old would you say Julia is ? 20's, 30's 40's ? You may have seen the 1911 census entry where there is Arthur and Julia (aged 39) Blackshall with daughter Alice (aged 16). Following on, there is a marriage in 1921 in the Cuckfield area between Alice J Blackshall and Alfred E Tasker.

In the GRO Marriage Index for 1921 as per Ancestry, there is a marriage between Alfred E. TASKER and Alice J. BACKSHALL in 1921 Q3 ref Cuckfield 2b 425. Could that be the one? It's too recent to appear on FamilySearch and the Cuckfield RD at this date covers a wide area in Mid-Sussex, including Haywards Heath. This means that you will have a long search through the various parish registers, but you will find a list of parishes at http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/cuckfield.html .
