On this feed someone found for me that Charles Witton married Sarah Anne Turnash in Bycullah Bombay India.
I only have UK subs.

Where can i go to look up a FHL Film number. Not only on this but where does everyone find what is on a film number?. Is there a site you can join?.

Also would there be a marriage certificate for this wedding I can order? if so where would I order it?

I wondered that because I can't find sister Ann Witton and there dad William, maybe they can from India?

On Ancestry one person has marriage but they changed the Turnash to Furnash?

FHL numbers refer to films on FamilySearch. familysearch.org.  You have to register, but it is free.
Sometimes the films are digitised on Family Search and you can look at them directly, othertimes you have to go to a Family History (Latter Day Saints) Centre or an affiliate (usually a genealogy group) to look at them.

This from one of my earlier posts to you

Added - I’ve just found the actual image for the marriage Charles  to Sarah Anne FURNISH. Turnash is a transcription error

 

[mckha489]

I've just checked. On Family Search the film has restricted access - you have to go to a family history centre. But the Image I found is on Findmypast.com  if you don't have membership to that, you can buy 1 month, or do a pay as you go,  sometimes they have a special deal on of a free day or days to lure you in!

going back to your first post about David William WITTON
This was on the FIBIS site.  Was his wife Jane?

but I see in his will which is on Ancestry he names a brother Thomas Wilson WITTON as one of his executors.  and in the will a son William, a son David, a sister Mary Ann WITTON and another sister Sarah WITTON a sister in law Ann something WITTON widow of his late brother James. there are other names. I don't see anything to connect him to 'your' William - not closely anyway.   Its a very long will.
