How to obtain wedding cert 1819 Bloomsbury

Hello,
I need to obtain a wedding certificate for a marriage -1819 Bloomsbury St George London (Info from Pallot's Marriage Index)
I'd be grateful for any information.

Thank

I think you will need to contact the district registration office & they may then need to send you a form. As you seem to be in Australia, I would e-mail GRO for advice, as I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

Hi Meg,

If the wedding was in 1819 I'm not sure that you can get a wedding cert. similar to the ones issued nowadays as the general registration of births/marriages/deaths started in 1837 (I thought.....maybe someone could clarify?). Did the church issue a certificate before then? It may be that you have to look at the actual parish registers of the particular church to find more details on the wedding.
 Regards
Emily

  Hi Emily - That's what I thought -  the only details of the marriage I have are St Geo Bloomsbury - 1909 (but  it's more likely 1919 when the image is enlarged.)
It doesn't give details of the actual church where they were married.

Thnaks for your reply

Do you mean 1819 or 1919? 
I had assumed that St Georges, Bloomsbury was the name of the church...there is a church called that which still exists.....I put it into google and several links came out. The Bloomsbury association has some pictures of it on their webpage http://www.camdennet.org.uk/groups/bloomsbury/photo-album/album?album_id=16807
The church also has a website http://www.stgeorgesbloomsbury.org.uk/. It has a contact us e-mail address on it...so maybe they might be able to tell you if their old parish records are available somewhere.

Best regards,
Emily

Thanks Emily,
I meant 1819 - (typo) 
Thankyou for going to all that trouble - I really appreciate it.
I'll email the church - so fingers crossed!.
Kind regards

Hi Casalguidi,
Thankyou so much for posting these addresses for me. 
I checked out the London Corporation site - it looks as though I'll be able to apply to order the cert there - great site for searching for other documents also.
Thanks again to Alice and Emily also
