My GG Grandfather was born in Germany but married in the UK in 1881, if I was to send off for his marriage certificate would it have his parents names on it? Also where is the best place to order it online from. Regards Michaela

It would have his father's name on it (assuming he wasn't illegitimate as more often than not, the entry against father's name is left blank). It's possible to order certificates online: http://www.gro(.)gov(.)uk/gro/content/certificates/ *remove brackets*
