marriage certificates
« on: Friday 31 December 04 11:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I have sent off for a marrieage cert. and it has come back with what I think is the wrong person for the wifes father.
It has a number 20 by the wife and a number 21 by what should be the name of the her father!!
Can someone give me a clue as to what these numbers refer, could it be someone standing in for her father.
I am sure it is the right cert. as all of the other details are correct
Help please
Thanks    Vivvie

Hi Vivvie

This sounds like it could be that the registrar has made some notes/corrected a mistake ie. numbers 20 and 21 in his list .............. where did you get the certificate from?

I would suggest contacting the relevant local registry office direct if there is nothing else written (ie notes) on the page that would correspond with numbers 20 and 21.

Best wishes
