You are not looking in the complete records section, if nothing is coming up after 1920

Hello I have been trying to find my grandparents marriage on Ancestry, but nothing is coming up? I dont have a year, but it should be somewhere in Southwark, Bermondsey. I have their birth years of 1905/1904 so i was looking from when they were 16 upwards. there names are Sidney Henry McConnell / Florence May Spray. Are there no marriage records from 1920 onwards on ancestry? or am I not searching properly? any help greatly appreciated! many thanks

To access the full records, click on 'search' button above the box on the Ancestry home page To the right of the new search box you will see some text, headed 'browse records'.........scroll down to where it says England & Wales BMD Index.....with 'updated' in red. Click on that........and away you go................ Reg
