FreeBMD are the same as the transcribed records on Ancestry. It is an ongoing project to transcribe the complete birth, marriage and death indexes.

The marriages are only up to about 1915, with more added all the time.

On Ancestry the marriages are only transcribed up to 1915. After that you have to look at the complete index and go to the year (1917), then the qtr. (Dec.) then look at the list of all names beginning with the letter T (for Todman).

The marrriage is definitely there on the complete index.
