LMA marriage details please
I have a marriage for one of my Great Uncles - Charles Edgar Carsons to Ethel Irene Morrell which took place (according to his WW1 service record) on 11 December 1915 at St Annes, Wandsworth. Could someone please check the LMA records and let me know if there are any witnesses shown or the occupations of the fathers. Until I can afford to upgrade my subscription I can't look at the details on Ancestry. Thank you very much in anticipation.

Thanks Jess.
This is my family's 'big secret'! They married, had a child, and then in 1934 Ethel applied for a judicial separation but was never divorced as far as I know. Ethel & the child were never mentioned within the family, but the woman I knew as my Great Aunt didn't actually marry my Great Uncle until 1964, (although she took his surname many years earlier) after their daughter was married. I assume this was after Ethel had died, although I can't find her death registration. After my Great Uncle died, my mother mentioned that she had another cousin that she hadn't seen since she was a child from Great Uncle's first marriage, but she wasn't talked about. I have found out all I know since my mother died so I can't share it with her unfortunately. All parties mentioned are now dead so probably I'll never know the exact circumstances, but each little snippet of information slowly chips away the brick wall

This rings a bell somewhere - unless I'm getting two families confused. OH has Morrell's on his side and I think one of them was a sugar refiner. I'm sure though that most births prior to 1900's were Somerset or Wales and I think he said the other night that he'd found a northern connection (possible Yorkshire?) There was definitely a Louie (Louisa) Morrell born in the 1890's. Will ask him later but does any of that sound familiar?
