Post by: rubymelia on Friday 14 December 18 17:10 GMT (UK)
Hi I wonder if any one knows there I could look for marriage certificate if I have the volume and page number?

The GRO index details you have found enable you to order the certificate, which you can do online:

Hi, I have an ancestry subscription, do you know if there is any way of searching using the vol and page number to view the certificate online?

LancashireBMD say that the marriage took place at "West Derby, Register Office or Registrar Attended".

Sorry, I only just saw your reply.
You can view many Liverpool Catholic records on Ancestry.
There is no access to English civil certificates.

As I say the GRO reference details are of relevance only to ordering from the GRO.

However the good news is that this Catholic marriage is included in Ancestry's online collection titled "Liverpool, England, Catholic Marriages 1754-1932".

If you haven't already searched for it there then I suggest you use the Latinised versions of the parties' names: Petrum Melia should get you to the right record.

Cross-posted with heywood :)

Just for the record, I believe Margaret's mother is recorded in this marriage register as Annae (Ann), not Mary.

Ann is also given in the annotated baptism register, discussed in another thread ...
