It's a copy made long after the event - at least 29 years later.Column 1 - "When Married" - has the printed numbers "19   " indicating that the form was produced for use no earlier than 1900.

Question:  At the bottom of the certificate, after "Certified to be a true copy of an entry in a register ..." is a "Date" - what is that date?

The date after Certified ... and
Given at the General Register Office, under the Seal of the said Office, 8th day of February 2018.
I recently ordered it.

Good spot, I had notice that the '71 was missing but didn't register the 19

The main good news was I could read it and it confirmed relations I expected.

Solved - it's a modern copy of an 1871 entry.   If the marriage was conducted in a church, rather than a Register Officer, then there is the chance that a copy of that entry could be found.

I have four typed marriage certificate certified copies and three typed birth certificate certified copies.

If it's a modern copy why does it look like the image has come from microfiche shouldn't the image be nice and clear without marks on it?

My grandad's 1961 death cert is on typed paper,and you can just about read the security paper it's typed on,which says General Register Office in waves all the way across it.
