Edith May was my 4cousin x 2 removed she married Albert Edward Duffin March 1937 could anyone give me any information on this couple other than what I already have being that I now reside in Australia Ihave not got acces to much of the records that you have in the U.K.
Kind Regards Eddie Dwight

If you buy a sub to Ancestry.com.au, you'll have access to pretty much most of the info that we in the UK have.
Also there's the free site freebmd.org.uk - and all the other sites we use will be just as usable in Australia, as far as I know.

However, I assume you have Edith's birth, marriage, and death certs, as you know the dates.

So that helpers know what part of the UK we're talking about, here's her birth for reference:

There are births for more than one Albert Edward Duffin, so if you don't know anything more about him than that he married Edith, you'll have to buy a copy of the marriage cert, if you don't already have it, to find out his age, parents' names, etc.

Argllgran, Thank you for you quick response do you have any info on her spouse as this is what I cannot find or her death records
Cheers Eddie

Hang on a minute - the marriage is under the name of Ethel, not Edith.

If you are only going by on-line records, might this be more likely?

No wonder you are registered as +++ DetEcTive+++ all that informatoin you have passed on to me is just so helpful and very much appreciated. You and your fellow info gatherers make it a little easier coming up with this data you must be able to access so much more than I can here in Australia
Kind regards Eddie

My board name is a play on my initials, DET, which are borrrinng! There are far better helping members on the site. Even the most experienced of us have made wrong turns and need the help of others to sort it out.

It’s a case of having subscriptions to other sites rather than which country we live in.

Pulling together the sources for record posted here -

Ancestry.co.uk – if you upgraded to world wide you’d be able to access the UK records via your au account. You could open a UK records only account under a different email address.
Findmypast – subscription
1939 Register – pay to view by credits but unlimited access included in the FMP annual sub.
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ (free)
https://billiongraves.com/ (free) although in this case, the entry was listed on FMP. There are also links from the free site https://familysearch.org/
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills Free. You have to pay to receive a copy of the Will or letters of Administration. Unless it’s a relatively close relative, the entry normally gives sufficient details to identify the correct person.

(just adding above link, you can see scanned images of Burial Registers)

Chris :)

There you go - Chris has posted another Free site :-D

As your extended family seem to have roots in the Kingston area, its worth playing around to see if their burial was also there.
