Lookup Request for two Ronald Davies Marriages in the 1940's

[Mamsoth]

Hi, can anybody help? I'm interested in two marriages, both involving a Ronald Davies. They both take place in Oldham, one in 1943 to a Margaret R Bryson. The other is in 1945 to a Martha A Fishwick.

I can find them in Ancestry, but I would need to order the certificates which I can't afford at the minute 

I was wondering if anyone would be able to find anything out about either/both of these weddings?

Cheers

LancashireBMD reports:
The 1943 marriage was "Register Office or Registrar Attended".
Likewise the 1945 marriage.

If the marriages took place at a Register Office, then your only option is to buy a certificate. The information simply isn't available any other way.

"Registrar Attended" could mean a Catholic, or Non-Conformist marriage, where the officiating minister wasn't deemed to be a Registrar (C of E ministers are always deemed to be a Registrar).
Consequently, the Registrar had to attend the place where the marriage took place.

Parish Registers, of any denomination, are unlikely to be online for marriages this recent?

I think your only option is to splash out?

Oldham Local Studies Library hold some registers?

BUT, all the Catholic Marriage Registers only go up to 1941.

Thanks alot for the help Kgarrad. I'll have to just bite the bullet and get those certificates. Sigh, it's such an expensive hobby this 

Thanks again

You can get PDF copies from the GRO at the moment £8 each so a bit cheaper

Unless you get lucky and find a notice in a local paper.
I tried a quick googlesearch for Oldham marriage Davies AND 1943 Bryson OR 1945 Fishwick but didn't see anything obviously relevant.

[yes, it can be an expensive hobby - but it's cheaper than my cousin's hobby (beer drinking) and the pleasure lasts longer!]
