FreeBMD is usually the first place I search for marriages during the war. Most soldiers married quckly after meeting their prospective bride. My own grandparents were married less than three months after they met.<BR/><BR/>Millicent must have paid for a better class on the Annette Fulfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917837169496502052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-73960570750143296292008-11-17T08:11:00.000-05:002008-11-17T08:11:00.000-05:00Annette - this is terrific, thank you!

Derby, Lancashire) in the last quarter of 1918. <BR/><BR/>So they likely married in a rush before George was sent home. I have to contact their grandson through my sister-in-law so am going to call her today to ask her to ask him if he knows anything else. <Olive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-10360810974682083492008-11-16T23:40:00.000-05:002008-11-16T23:40:00.000-05:00Hi Lorine, It looks like George Lynn was invalided...Hi Lorine, It looks like George Lynn was invalided home on the hospital ship Araguaya in December 1918.Annette Fulfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917837169496502052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-64309920992730008032008-11-16T21:52:00.000-05:002008-11-16T21:52:00.000-05:00Hi Annette - Sadly there were no personal stories ...Hi Annette - Sadly there were no personal stories in her book that I bought, just a chart form genealogy of sorts. I know that she met George Lynn in England when he was there during WW1 and that they married in that country. <BR/><BR/>I am not sure if he sent for her after his return, but apparently the 1919 arrival was her settlement year in Canada. I will ask her grandson if he knows anymore Olive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-74998518449207241382008-11-16T17:16:00.000-05:002008-11-16T17:16:00.000-05:00Fascinating stuff!
