Free Access to UK and Canada Marriage Records on Ancestry.com

You probably have heard there will be a wedding in England soon. Prince William and Kate Middleton will tie the knot in a private ceremony with only family in attendance. Okay, kidding aside, it will be a huge public wedding with millions around the world watching.

Do you need to research a marriage in the UK or Canada that didn't get as much attention as this royal wedding will? Then it's a lucky week for you. Ancestry.com is celebrating the royal wedding with free access to their UK and Canada Marriage Collection until midnight EDT of Saturday, April 30th.

Stay up to date with Ancestry.com on Twitter.

Obituary for Ida Mae Hodges Bowen

Obituary for Ida Mae Hodges Bowen, wife of Charles A. Bowen. Most likely this clipping came from the January 1, 1959, edition of the La Plata Home Press. The text in this clipping matches the text of her La Plata Home Press obituary I have seen elsewhere on the internet. This obituary clipping comes from my great-grandmother's collection.
