Would anyone be able to find out any details about a wedding in 1920 in Cardiff between Benjamin Howell Huxley and Bertha Jacobsen. If it was a civil wedding or church and which church. I am interested in finding Benjamins fathers name. Thank you

Hi
According to the birth index, he was born in 1896 so should be on the 1901 and 1911 censuses.
Dec 1896
Huxley Benjamin Howell Newcastle L. 6b 63
Have found found him in either?
The GRO birth index (www.gro.gov.uk) infers he might have been illegitimate as no mothers maiden surname is recorded.

Marriages Jun 1920
Huxley Benjamin H spouse Jacobsen Cardiff 11a 1247
His army papers suggest 15th May 1920 but not where.
The page range for this quarter is 817-1317, the entry you seek is towards the upper end so could be a register office wedding in which case it won't be online anywhere.
The indexes are compiled firstly by Anglican churches, then Jewish and Quaker, then registrar attended for other denominations and register office.
