Hi. A marriage took place in Westminater London 1887+/- 2 between Henry Johns and Jane Sophia Garard.
Is it possible to obtain a copy of the parish register entry showing their signatures or must I send for a copy of the marriage cert.???
Many thanks. Dud.

The record may be on Ancestry...........I imagine you don't subscribe?

Go and find the record on freebmd..................no need to be unsure of the year

Marriages Dec 1885
GARARD Jane Strand 1b 992
Johns Henry Hudy Strand 1b 992

Unfortunately Strand is not one of those London areas whose records appear on Ancestry London Marriages database.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Not on Ancestry..........and the copy cert is unlikely in the extreme to show their signatures. IF they were able to sign, that is
