Are civil marriages listed at Ashton under Lyne records library?

[Treelover]

Hello,

If a marriage is shown as Ashton under Lyne Civil Marriage on the UKBMD site, does that mean its Registry Office and the only way I can view it is to order it, or is there somewhere I can find the details?

Hi

Civil Marriage could mean a Register Office marriage or it was a Registrar Attended marriage in a non-conformist Church. What year are you looking at?

Hi Andy,

Agnes Scally married John Frain (e) in 1908 Ashton under Lyne 2nd quarter 8d 973.  Struggling to find John's correct parents as there are 3 couples that fit the bill.  It's a tree I am doing free for a friend.

Hi Heather,

Yes they are the children. 

Hi Huckleberry,

Don't think it's that one.  He was born end 1877/ely 1878, got his WW1 pension record and worked out his correct age from that??

Hello,
I can't see Agnes or John in 1911 indexes, but there is a Martin Frain in Ashton under Lyne
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XW1L-L28

He would fit with the family Huckleberry found.

Is this John in 1911? https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XWHQ-1V6
There is an Agnes in same area.

We can discount the John Thomas Frain born in 1877 as he died in 1891
The only others are 
John born 1881 Shelton as mentioned above and
John born 1875 mother's maiden name was Beard

John Frain married Bridget Beard in 1873 Wolstanton, staffs
