Well done Dudley, you've cracked it!

The coverage on FreeBMD for Dec 1909 is virtually 100%. That means
the chance of two other people being omitted from this page is very
small indeed, and although I know others will disagree with me, I'd
happily put money on Margaret Ward being the wife of Frank Ernest
Armiger. There would only be one marriage on that page of the
register copy if that was the state the page was in at the end of the
quarter. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a child in the birth
indexes with parents Armiger and Ward - that would have strengthened
the argument!
