I've recently come across an article in the Gloucestershire Echo [Tuesday, 18 May 1937], which suggests that my Great Uncle, Frank DELICATE, jilted his bride to be [unnamed] two hours before their wedding was scheduled to take place at Upleadon Church on 17 May 1937. I'm trying to locate the Banns for this event in an attempt to discover the name of the jilted bride. Any help will be gratefully received!

It didnt seem like a local surname :-)

Reading the article there are some clues that may help in identifying the jilted bride.

" his bride to be, a Newent woman"

" the couple met at a whist drive about 2 years ago"

"The woman was in service at the Vicarage, Upleadon"

" The bride and bridesmaids were dressed and waiting at the bride's sisters house a mile or so away from the church"

" she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the bride's mother told an Echo reporter"

I wonder if the marriage register was already "written up" and had to be crossed out, it may be worth a look

The 2 marriages for Upleadon in 1937 have entry numbers 111 ( for April) and 113 ( for November) so my guess is that entry 112 is for Frank Delicate and unknown in May ( date of newspaper article) of that year.
