hi all

just searching for possible spouses of a relative. Is it possible to search for their partner with the gro index that you know?

for instance can you look up a known gro index to obtain the unknown partner?
 
if you have both numbers i.e. 6d 162 you may only have 1 other person or could be a few but its worth trying.
 
thanks shera, managed to sort it on ancestry but its a real round the houses way of doing things... you go into the marriages and specify a year, a quarter then the index number and very rarely you'll get just one name, frequently its two or three, which is great if you know the partners first name... think ive found what im looking for... thanks again
 
yes but you can usually find who it is if you can check a later census or electoral rolls and find the right christian name. if the reference numbers throw up 3 or 4 marys though you may have a problem!! :D
