Looking for a marriage certificate

[Shaza65]

Hello I am trying to track down a marriage certificate for my grandparents Jean McLean to Thomas Yeates what I think is November 1917 in the district of ELHAM ??
I actually have it in front of me but can't read much. I was so sure they were married in Greenock Scotland but I think this place is in Canterbury England . A website where I could order a new one would be great thanks

If you can post snippets of a scan of the original certificate with the bits you can't read, we may be able to help without you having to buy another.

ADDED: Because if it's the writing you can't read, another copy will be exactly the same!!

These are the districts covered by Elham in 1917.

Could you give us a little more in formation about Thomas and Jean to explain why you think they married in Greenock?

[emeltom]

There is only one Thomas Yeates marriage showing up for 1917 on scotlandspeople and that took place in Bellshill to a Margaret Cairns Stewart.

If Thomas and Jean's child was born in Scotland, will their birth certificate have information about the marriage?

[Johnf04]

Yes - Scottish register copies of births have the parents' date and place of marriage.

Added later - the births for Yeates are 1918 and later - copies of the register aren't available online. (The 1918 birth, for James, will be online in January 2019).

Certificates can be ordered  - they cost 12 pounds each.

Marriage certificates can't be ordered online from the GRO - only births and deaths.
