Default Cyril Atwell Woodroffe

Cyril was born c1884 and married Edith/Edythe Maud, her maiden name is Sones at the birth of 2 of their sons.

Ancestry is suggesting that they married in Alberta Canada, she as Edith Maud Sones. I don't have world Ancestry and the marriage is not on FMP, can some kind soul please look up the details of that marriage for me?

many thanks

I've not checked the place names. The handwriting is fine but Lloyd could be Floyd or Hoyd etc

It confirms the name Sones, which is what I was struggling with as she knocked a few years off her age and I could not find her! With her parents identified I have now found her birth record and she was honest about the place of birth, she was just a bit older than her husband!
