Marriage Certificates

Civil Registration was introduced in Scotland from 1st January 1855. The General Register Office for Scotland holds the registers.

FamilyHistoryBuddy.com is able to search the records for Scotland back to 1855. If the required entry is found then a certified copy of that entry can be obtained for you. Alternatively, if the marriage certificate is not required, the information from the marriage record can be transcribed and provided to you.

In England & Wales, Civil Registration was introduced from 1st July 1837. The Registrar General holds the registers.

FamilyHistoryBuddy.com is able to search the indexes for England & Wales back to 1837. If the required entry is found then a certified copy of the marriage record can be obtained for you. For England & Wales, the only way to obtain the marriage detail from the registers is to purchase the actual marriage certificate.

As much information as possible is required to help us in the search for the relevant marriage record.

Ideally, to find the required Marriage Certificate we need the following:-

Name of the Groom

Name of the Bride

Age of the Groom at time of Marriage

Age of the Bride at time of Marriage

Name of Groom's Father

Name of Groom's Mother

Name of Bride's Father

Name of Bride's Mother

Groom's address at time of Marriage

Bride's address at time of Marriage

Date of Marriage

Place of Marriage

However, if all of the above information is not available we at FamilyHistoryBuddy.com will strive to find the marriage record you require.
