Hi Folks,
Can someone please enhance this old document from Chorlton on Medlock.
I think the people are Samuel Green and Sophia Rimmington.
Many thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
Can you please scan your image again and crop out any empty white space, the image you had posted was too small.
Regards
Sarah

Hello Sarah,
I am not to good with a computer and I have no idea what to do. The image I sent is in jpeg and can be expanded so I will just have to give up.
Kind regards,
Steve

Here is a new image of the marriage certificate.
Luckily this marriage is on familysearch.org, and the film is viewable at home instead of having to go to an LDS library to view it, although you do have search through the film to find it.
Maybe not in colour (I don't know if you have the original one), but it's fairly clear, (after I did some manipulation with the contrast etc), to read.
Some of the entries on the film were virtually unreadable. The vicar or parish clerk being 'economical' with the ink I suspect! :)

It occurs to me you may have the original - in colour.
If you still want that to be tidied up, send me a Personal Message on the PM system here, and I'll send you my email so you can send it to me as a jpeg. From the sound of it, by what Sarah says, you may need to rescan it to get a decent sized image to work with. If I can't get it looking good enough, I'll post it back on here for others to have a go.

They were married in Q3 1876 in Chorlton The record is in Vol.8 Page 816.
This from https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl - note the word FREE !
With their names and all that information you can order a replacement certificate, for about a tenner - that WebSite tells you how.
Ditto for Birth and Death Certificates - which usually provide more information, such as address and next of kin.

But you can see the actual marriage certificate (for free also) on familysearch.
It gives ages, parent's names, occupations, residences etc.
(I see the image I posted has been removed. Sorry Sarah!.)
But the original poster can look at it, (and save it), as I highlighted in my post.

As goldie61 says - you can see the actual marriage certificate via Family Search. AND you will also get the added bonus of original signatures for all parties ;)
