Help finding a marriage?.....

Can someone help? A friends mother came round the other night and wants to do her family tree. She is old so doesnt have the internet and asked for my help. She is trying to find the marriage of her parents. She was born in Newcastle in 1942 but they came from Scotland & she thinks they married there. His name was John Moody and her name was Violet Knight. John came from Wishaw near Motherwell and we think the marriage was late 30s early 40s.
Cheers,
Mark

Hullo Mark

If your friend's parents married after 1930, the marriage details won't be on-line. A visit to New Register House in Edinburgh will be necessary. With the details you give and the names involved, it shouldn't be hard to find. Perhaps someone visiting New Register House could have a quick look for you.

Best wishes

Cheers for that. Hope someone is going up that way then. We are on Merseyside.

Hi Skaville

Watch your language on here!!

I'm ready to take offence at being labelled 'OLD' She was younger than I am.

One thing you learn on here is that you can teach old dogs new tricks.

Some of us only started our genealogy as a pre-retirement course and can bring personal memories from earlier last century to our postings.

Hope someone can offer a look-up for you.

I'll be in at NRH tomorrow and/or Tuesday.

If I have a few spare minutes, I'll have a look.

Sorry folks, my friend was born in 47 not 42. Didnt mean to offend by using the 'o' word. Thanks for your replies.

It's O.K. Skaville

Being a Senior has some advantages.
Young folks tend to pick things up for you and offer to help with the shopping trolley.
I feel bad sometimes because half of them look less fit than I do.
