Sorry, just read not to click on your name. How do I find Benjeman Fry's marriage certificates? Will they record his father if his father is deceased at time of marriage?

ErikaH Report 9 Jan 2013 11:01

The marriage info is above.......use the details given to apply for a copy from the GRO

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

The cert will cost £9.25.

There will not be a cert for his first marriage.............civil registration didn't start until July 1837
