Title: Ashburton Marriage - March 1941
Post by: chasbaz on Thursday 10 March 16 22:50 GMT (UK)

Hi All,

If anyone has access to the parish registers for Ashburton I would be very grateful for an actual marriage date please.  Details:
Bride: Margaret Edith Bonham, previously Griffith
Groom - Deryck James Norman Bazalgette.

I wanted to avoid the high cost and long lead-time of a certificate if possible, as I am in Canada.

Many thanks,
Charles

Thanks but I found that index information too so I was hoping that the parish register would show the actual date.

To lookup a parish record - you have to know which church the marriage took place in

There is also the possibility at that time that it was a civil ceremony in which case it can't be looked up

Thanks very much for that information.  I think actually you are right and that it was in all probability a civil ceremony.
