You have to purchase the cert using the ref numbers to see any details

always use GRO https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

a cert will cost £9.25 including postage

Welcome to the boards, Elaine.

You can find births and marriages in free bmd
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

e.g.
Marriages Jun 1948
Blake Percy Borlase Bodmin 7a 28
Borlase Rita J Blake Bodmin 7a 28

Do you know if this is Percy's death, as the informant could be a relative
Percy Blake
Birth Date: 8 Jun 1920
Date of Registration: Mar 2003
Age at Death: 82
Registration District: St Austell
Inferred County: Cornwall
Register Number: 5D
District and Subdistrict: 367/1A
Entry number: 131

Rita Borlase is in someone's tree on here, use Search/Search All Member Trees (top right) to find and contact them.
She has Rita's birth as 1924, in Bodmin district - I wondered if there was a name change, as this one shows
Births Jun 1924
Borlase Esta J Trebilcook Bodmin 5c 90
