Hi all,

  I'm researching a (potentially) English/Dutch man's family, his parents had four children including him, with their surnames being "Van Oyen" and the mother's maiden name being "Bos". However there are no marriages for Van Oyen to a Bos in the UK, so I then went on the site wiewaswie.nl however it seems like both surnames are very common in the Netherlands. Could anyone shed any light on where this record could be, or suggest any other Netherlands BMD sites I could use?

You've only posted this request a few days ago  ::)

Would be better on the EUROPE board- http://www.rootschat.com/forum/europe/

Just click 'report to moderator' and asked for it to be moved to the correct board but have a bit more patience  ;)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Dates? Location? Full names of the spouses?

There is no database that covers all locations and all time periods, so without more information it's difficult to help you. The record you are looking for may indeed not be available online at all.

Hi Not sure if you are still looking....?  Van Oijen is not that common a name.  I found the following on wiewaswie - https://www.wiewaswie.nl/personen-zoeken/zoeken/document/a2apersonid/321534883/srcid/1980455/oid/4

This shows a marriage between Wilhelmus Marinus van Oijen and Helena Bos in Rotterdam in 1918.  Maybe this is the one you want?
