Hi all
I wonder if somebody could help me please?.
I need to see the marriage certificate of my great grandparents to find their parents names. Otherwise I cannot get any further back.

John Jack Kelly born c1900
Elizabeth Hudson born c1900
married in Cheshire approx. c1921

Do I need to order the certificate? or is there a way I can pay and view it online? If so, what is the cheapest way to do this / best website?

thanks in advance. :-)

No way to view online you have to buy the certificate via the GRO (the cheapest way to buy)

To to FreeBMD and look up their marriage their and use the names (as printed) and reference numbers to order.

wow! I didn't expected so much information so quickly!
Thank you very much to all of you. I will look at all the suggestions you've given me.

And Jax, thank you for confirming something for me. My aunt always thought that Elizabeth's mum was a 'Smith'.

:-D
