Compo 10,328 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Just chanced upon this bit of gen on Wikipedia: "Julie Felix married David John Evans in Nottingham register office on 29 January 1966..." It brought to mind that Gary Sobers, one of the greatest all-rounders in world cricket history also married in a Nottingham register office (Basford). I wonder how many other famous folks are connected to Notts. in a similar way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I've been married in both....one of 'em twice... !rotfl! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 My mate Cliff got married in the one on Sherwood Street in around 1992. And for fear of sounding stereotypical and racist it was like a 70s pimps convention , Zoot suits , flares, platform shoes the works (and that was just the women !!) .....LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I was married for the first time in Basford registry office in January 1969 and then a second time in Sherwood Street in August 19983. I divorced for the second time in March 1989 and met my present SWMBO in 1990 - we have lived together without marriage since 1991. I don't think I'll risk marriage again, it's bad for the relationship! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Assume you chaps mean Shakespeare Street (opp Nottingham Trent Uni) not Sherwood Street? Interesting to see the service has now been moved to the Council House Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I beg your pardon - Yes it was the Shakespeare street one. A quiet do: just me, the lady and two witnesses. Went into the Vic centre for a tea and sticky bun afterwards and then back to work in the afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 That's amazing! Do you know how long she was there? I assume that the dates include 1966, since she was married in Nottingham then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
