I'd just like to thank all of you who have so kindly replied to my post, I really am very grateful to you.
I know that you cannot do a "look up" for marriages performed in a Registry Office, but I was hoping that it would be a marriage performed in a parish church; apologies, I should have stated this.
You have really done a brilliant job in obtaining all this wonderful data, and putting it together - I've been working from the Liverpool end, and am thrilled to have all the data you have given me, particularly that from the Derbyshire area.
Please, Ladyhawk, re:
The 3 Birth entries for the 3 Fergie children ie Harold Dudley 1886, Emma Lydia 1887  and Lillie 1892.
Please can you tell me how you found out that the MMN was Dudley?
(I can only find Lillie's Birth in Lancashire BMD, and this does not appear to give the MMN.)

Thanks very much again,

Kit

I couldn't see any marriage announcement in the newspapers but did find some items re. the family, which may be of interest.


Sheffield Daily Telegraph

Chesterfield Canadian
Private Peter Warner, eldest son of Mr Frank Warner, Chesterfield, has been seriously wounded while serving with the Canadian Infantry, a telegram to his father stating that he is dangerously ill in hospital. Private Warner was shot in the ear, the bullet passing up into the head. Leaving Chesterfield 14 years ago, Mr Warner went to the United States, where he secured a position as head butcher with an important firm in Detroit. Twelve months ago he crossed into Ontario, Canada, and enlisted in the Canadian Infantry at Windsor.

Private Peter Warner (30), eldest son of Mr and Mrs Frank Warner, Chellowdene, Chatsworth Road, Brampton, who was serving with the Canadian Infantry some six weeks ago, has succumbed to his injuries in a London Hospital. A telegram to this effect was received by the parents on Thursday morning. Private Warner received a gunshot wound in the ear, which penetrated into his head. He was educated at St Helen's Street School, and served his apprenticeship with Mr J Middleton, butcher. Migrating to America nearly 14 years ago, he became manager of a large stores at Detroit, and held positions at Chicago and New York. Together with his younger brother he answered the mother country's call for men over twelve months ago and became attached to the Canadian Infantry. He had been in France about seven weeks when he was wounded. It is understood that the remains will be brought to Chesterfield for internment.

Chesterfield Casualties
Corporal Anthony M Warner, Leicestershire Regiment, son of Mr Frank Warner, "Chellowdene," Brookside, Chesterfield, has written home stating that he has been wounded in the chest and leg, and has undergone an operation in the base hospital in France. "It was a narrow shave.", he writes. "Only half an inch from the heart, but I guess my luck was in. I don't know if I shall be lucky enough to get to 'Blighty.' I hope so; it would be a change, for, between you and me, it was hell where we were. Enough said!" Corporal Warner is married and his wife is at present living with her mother at the Buck Inn, Chesterfield. Before enlisting a year and a half ago he was engaged with his father in the fish-curing business, but he had previously spent five years in America. Mr Warner has another son serving with the Canadian Flying Corps. and another, Pte. Peter Warner, died of wounds in July 1916.

The MMN is available in the GRO's own births index, which were compiled from transcripts of original registers, rather than the original index. It's free to use but you need to open an account.

No apology required! ;D
It's a terminology issue.
A Marriage Certificate is issued for any marriage conducted under Civil Registration.
What you wanted was the Parish Register entry for the marriage - and that's not a certificate :D

Hi,
Thank you once again for all your replies - I am delighted to have all of that, and am gratified for all that everyone has done for me. You all have really bent over backwards to help me and I have also learnt something along the way, which I'm sure will be useful in the future.
Can't thank you enough, you have been brilliant!
