Hi, can anyone tell me if Jehovah's witness bmd's are registered at all? My uncle married into them. I've found his birth record, but no trace of marriage or any of his children

Yes of course,,,,it doesnt matter what religon anyone is,since civil registration 1837 in England/Wales a record of a marriage was sent to the General Registers Office to be recorded and indexed,,,,,,the same applies in most countires where cilvil laws exsists.

Where were you looking for the marriage record, and when do you think it was?
Thanks

Do you know for certain that there was a marriage?

And in which country would this have been?

Also, which decade?

My Uncle, John Hildred got married in August 1962 in Gretna Green but I can't find a record of it searching the marriage records on here
