Would a marriage - 19 Sep 1945 - between Eric PEAD and Yvette BARUCH in Alexandria, Egypt also be found in Find my Past?  Eric PEAD got married in army uniform.

It does indeed occur in the GRO Index Army Marriages (1881 to 1955)

Eric Pead and Yvette Baruch in Alexandria, Egypt in 1945.

Again the actual cert can be ordered from the GRO as below.

And then I just put in Pead,it's an unusual enough name for there to only be a small handful!
