Ordering a copy of Marriage certificate

[telephonist]

Thanks for your reply, seems like i will just go to the GRO direct.

Local Archives do not hold any BMD certificates.

Just to clarify, I realise that archives do not hold or issue 'certificates' BUT if the marriage was in an Anglican Church the Parish Registers (which are the original source document) will usually (depending on time frame) be held by archives.

Hello again, So before i go ordering a certificate which Archives office shoud i try?

[Tickettyboo]

As the marriage does not seem to have been in an Anglican church your only option is to order a marriage certificate from the GRO.
For marriages they only have the paper certificate option, they don't do pdfs by email for marriages.

Try this -

The information you will need - names of bride and groom and 1846 as the year.

Do you have the names of the couple you are searching for please as findmypast  has some Devon parish records and I will have a look to see if they have the one you are after.

It may well be on FindMyPast - but if you do want a certificate at the moment I would try ordering from the local registration service rather than GRO. Not all districts are currently offering a service, but Devon seems to be.

GRO are taking at least 6 weeks for paper certificates, I still have one order outstanding from the 6th April.

A local office supplied a certificate for me a couple of weeks ago within a few days.

Thankyou for your reply Anthony, I have just looked and found a reference to a marriage on Find My Past but dont have an account. Its for Edward HOLE 1846 Tiverton Devon in England and Wales marriages  1837-2005.
The GRO has this as HALL and TOOZE and as my ancestor is HALL i am  hoping this might be a transcription error, I dont want to waste money getting the certificate if this is the case, any ideas or maybe someone on this site could access the record for me please?

Kind regards Telephonist

Hello Panda, Your reply came in as i was answering Anthony above. The couple are Edward HALL and Elizabeth Tooze, GRO has then as this and Find my Past has Edward as HOLE but i think its  the same Edward.
Any help appreciated.
Goodnight .
