Don't worry about asking questions. We all were new at this and needed help. Ask whenever you need to

They were married in 1974 between October November December according to the marriage certificate.

Its literally a blank canvass as he has no information what so ever about his father. We have basics of his mother.

Due to the lack of information, I cannot even link any birth certificates for his father as we do not know who is mother was, where he was born etc or whether or not he is still alive. He would be 72 years of age if he is still around (dont mean that awful).

Thankyou for replying. I have found the district and volume number with page number (SORRY i SHOULD HAVE MADE THAT CLEAR).
I have tried to order the marriage certificate but the gro website is not letting me as I dont have the exact marriage date on the exact year.

I want to obtain a copy of the marriage certificate but how can I without the exact date.

How that makes sense, only been doing this a week ;o(

Thankyou
xxxx

Emma, you need the volume and page number. If you look at the freeBMD website you can search for them. Click on Search, then on Marriage, then type in one of the names. For the date make it a little wide, over 2 or 3 years, just to be sure, then click on Search. It might bring up several peole of the same name, but if you know the district you can narrow it down, or else click on the page number to see all the names on that page to hopefully match up your groom with your bride.

I hope you understand all that. Sounds a bit complicated, but quite easy really. Good luck.

Huia.

Please can someone give me advice as im new to this.
My husband has not seen his father since he was 3 years of age and does not see his mother either, hence limited information.
We are doing a research on family history and have found their marriage details to try and get details of his grandparents.
However when I have tried to order it from the GRO website, I have the exact year of marriage but not the date or month and therefore its not accepting it.
Any advise would be a huge help.
Thankyou
Emma
