Title: Military overseas marriage lookup
Post by: amon000 on Friday 27 April 18 22:36 BST (UK)
Hello there, I just wanted to ask if anyone can do an overseas military marriage lookup please?  I am not sure if there is a thread or a place I should have looked first, apologies if so. If anyone can help, please let me know and I will send details of my request - the marriage was in 1969 and I cannot access on Ancestry. Many thanks.

Ancestry doesn't have 'em.

Thanks PaulineJ, that’s great. Does anyone have the appropriate find my past subscription please to do the lookup if I give the details? I can repay the favour by doing a lookup on Ancestry if that is any use to anyone?

Many thanks,

Amanda

I think it's just an index, full details from the GRO as usual.

Hi Amanda,
Limited details as PaulineJ says, names, place of marriage and reference number. If that would do ,then , if no one else has beaten me to it if you private message me, I will have a look.

I think you have to make three posts to receive and send pms, so a reply on here and you should be ready to go.

Thank you PaulineJ and cath151 for your replies.

A quick lookup might be a start thank you cath151, with GRO you can find the surname of the other party, presumably it will be a similar thing with military marriages..? Only one way to find out. Hopefully I can now pm you, I’ll give it a try this evening.

Best regards,

Amanda
