Hi

Not of her husband - you would be dependant on finding a marriage in Ireland between a Margaret Brady and ?? Henderson

There is another alternative - might be quicker.  You could send for the 1878 marriage cert I found above but put a condition on your application that bride's father should be surname Brady and bride should be a widow

If it's the wrong one - the GRO will only charge a £3 search fee

That way - if it's the wrong one it will save searching for a Brady/Henderson marriage

Thank you Carole,
 I am learning something new every minute.
 Working at the moment and I would need quite a while to search the site, as I am a beginner.
Will do it later and let you know how it goes.

Hi

I'm going loopy - I thought I had given the GRO reference number in my reply above but hadn't

Here it is 

Marriages December qtr 1878   
 
James WADDLE  Kensington  1a 347

There are 2 possible spouses on the same page, one of whom is Margaret Henderson

Thanks Carole
I found the reference and filled in the order form and all the details about my credit card. When it asked me for my credit limit, I didn't bother to look at my last statement, but rounded the figure down to the nearest thousand. Unfortunately, I guess because I did not state the exact credit limit, my transaction was refused.
 Now I have to get another credit card, or ask someone else to apply on my behalf.
 Never mind, it will be only a short delay. As I said earlier, I learn something new every day.

That's very strange - I have never been asked for my credit card limit on a GRO transaction

Were you ordering via www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

hi Carole
I went into freebmd.org.uk and found the reference number, then I had to register with the GRO. I  then filled in the form for the marriage certificate, and after that I filled in the form for paying with my credit card. After I made the mistake of not giving the exact credit limit, it told me that I could not use that credit card again.  It was something to do with security. I never had a problem like that before, when I bought other things on line. I don't remember ever being asked for my credit limit.

Hi

Try going in directly via the link I showed above - not the freebmd link

Try re-registering.

[mayoevie]

Ok.
Will do.
Might take all night. I am so slow

hello Carole.

Successful.
Must be patient for a few days with fingers crossed.
Many thanks to you and Monica for your valuable help
