Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 91 Send Message	Can any one help!!! I have had a marriage certificate delivered and I am struggling to read one of the surnames on there! Would it be possible for someone to have a look for me to see if they can read it? I have the certificate available to email. All help will be very much appreciated as I am getting very frustrated now! Thanks

Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 91 Send Message	Thanks for all your help. Looking through the bmd index on ancestry at the minute so hopefully will be able to confirm all the above.

Member Since: April 2006 Posts: 5,644 Send Message	Sarah, sorry you will not be able to confirm on BMD index, it only started in 1837! Unless you can find her first marriage to Mr Hughes. To confirm you will need to check the parish records for Kemerton.

Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 91 Send Message	Just found her!! Found her first marriage to Joseph Hughes. The surname is Gammon. Many thanks to you all for all your help!

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9,301 Send Message	Sarah, Ancestry won't be able to help you. Registration came in mid-1837, before then you need parish records. Start a new thread headed Gloucestershire lookup please. Give ALL the details you have. Somebody on the Records Board does them. Ozi.

Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 91 Send Message	Thanks Keith. I was checking the marriage records I knew she was married before so I was cross referencing Gammon with the married name of Hughes. I knew birth records wouldn't be on ancestry but crossed my fingers that the marriage took place after 1837, which it did in 1838!

Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 91 Send Message	Thanks for that Ozi. I think parish records are the only way to go now to get confirmation on things.
