I have found some relatives of mine on Lancashire BMD and noticed some of the marriage certificates have a note to say they are not available? These are some between 1888 to 1915.
Anyone know why that is please?
-
Not all of the Register Offices have signed up to the certificate ordering part of LancashireBMD.
-
If a church is shown against the entry and not "Registrar attended" you may be able to find the certificate on Ancestry or there may be a part transcription on Family Search
-
Details may also be available on the Lanc OPC web site
lan-opc.org.uk
Otherwise try FreeBMD and order from the GRO

Thankyou everyone, those answers all make sense now.
I feared it might have meant that they had been destroyed in some way, but it looks like there maybe hope of seeing them now.

If you have an Ancestry subscription - here's the link to the Liverpool records.

There are some partial marriage transcriptions on Family Search which give a mix of the date of marriage, name of the church - ages of bride and groom plus fathers name

If the entry you want can't be ordered by the online ordering - just click on the reference number and it should display a certifictae application form which you can send off to get a copy of the certificate.
I understand that for every entry that is indexed a certificate can be ordered :)
