I have looked on 3 sites for a marriage for John Alfred Noon to Claire ??? but with no luck. I think she was Born 29 Nov 1910 Died: 5 Oct 2012. If you can find her death reg /cert it might give her parents names. Not sure how you do this in the states I live in England - no relation to family

I am astounded!!! And very grateful. This is priceless and an excellent start. I am also in England in oxford!what sites did you use. Thank you again. I will try to find marriages of daughters as I am seeking present generations.
