'The General Register Office holds a central copy of all birth, adoption, marriage, civil partnership and death registrations for England and Wales.'

Here is the link:

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp

You will need to make a free account to search the indexes or, in this case, order the marriage certificate.

Click 'Place an Order' - England and Wales - Marriage - '1851' - 'I know the GRO Index Reference' and then use the information I supplied above to fill in the details.

I have never ordered from abroad but I assume it will be sent to you by post the same way as if you were in the UK, it will probably just take a bit longer (assuming you still reside in Canada).

Hope this helps you!

Philip Carter 45 builder
Hannah 45
George 20 Ap
Elizabeth 15
JANE 15

Unfortunately no fathers names given and there’s no image to view on Anc*y

This is a transcript so source would need checking to confirm that is a birth date as no baptism date mentioned
