Hi Not sure where to ask this, so hope I am in the right place
I am looking for a wedding cert of an uncle who got married in the 30s/40s and later divorced, only info I have is his name and x wifes first name...Can you tell me if their are any sites, or anything that I can search to maybe find any info? all seem to only search earlier dates? Thanks in advance for any help!

freebmd.co.uk has limited coverage of the 30s, so you could get lucky otherwise ancestry and findmypast (amongst other sites) have the indexes which you can manually search through

FreeBMD also has images of indexes including ones which haven't been transcribed yet. You need to click on the "view images" link on the homepage and then follow the instructions to manually search through them. I had a quick look, and they have marriages for all the years up to 1945. As with all these sites, it is very time consuming to search them, but it is possible, and also free, which I believe the other sites aren't for the scanned images.

What area are you looking at? Some areas, such as Leeds, have marriages transcribed up to the 1950s at www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk

Thanks for all your help, Im looking at London, as believed that is where they got married! so dont think leeds will b emuch help really.Being a popular name like Alan Baker does not help either as so many of them! will keep searching as you say I might get lucky although not so far!
