Marriage Records

A marriage record is any type of record or certificate that states the date and place where two individuals were married. The records are available from 1837 onwards as published by the GRO- these are available online, and you can view more information here. (For the availability of records before 1837, click here.) Once you have found the marriage record you need, then you can order a copy of the certificate. For information on how to find a marriage record, click here.
