Hello out there,
I am researching my family and am interested in where the registry office was in 1903;  I have been in touch with various historic and archive offices who tell me that in 1911 that was the first office they could find which the address was 76 Westgate Street.  Previous to thie it seems on all trade directories a registrars home address is given but no office.  I would like to know as my relations marriage certificate states Grantham registry office whether they married at the registrars own home or whether they hired a building in 1903;  The two married were Blanche Young and Ernest Stevens;  As I said I have a copy of their marraige certificate'

Perhaps you could use the 1901 Census to find where the Grantham Register Office was in 1903.  There is a Westgate in Grantham so it is a possibility.
I assume you have tried the Grantham register office?  If they did marry in the Register office then of course that is the only place that has a record of the marriage apart from the National Registry.  (My ancestors are from Grantham area.)
Best wishes
