Singapore - Marriages abroad

[Poozan]

How do I find a marriage certificate for a marriage in Singapore in 1875? I have a copy of the entry in the register of Singapore Cathedral but I had hoped for more information than one finds there.

The Singapore marriage registers for that period are held by National Archives of Singapore. You could try emailing them - see http://www.a2o.com.sg/a2o/public/html/contact.jsp

You could try searching for your relatives names in the National Library of Singapore online newspaper database - use " " to search for precise phrases http://newspapers.nl.sg/ - there may be a marriage announcement or report.

If the marriage appears in the UK overseas marriage indices then you can apply for a certificate from the UK authorities in the normal way.

Thank you for your help. I have emailed the Archives in Singapore and await their reply.

Sorry but the link you gave me didn't work. Can you suggest something else please?

[ShaunJ]

Sorry but the link you gave me didn't work

Do you mean the email address for NAS ? or the newspapers at NLB ?

[Poozan]

The email address for NAS - sorry to be dim!

[ShaunJ]

Clicking on that link should have created an email form with two addresses in the address box. Did both fail?

[Poozan]

It didn't create an email form but I found an email address and have sent off an email. I am muddled as to how I can access their marriage. How can I check that their marriage is recorded in the UK overseas marriage index?

By the way, thank you very much for helping me. I feel so ignorant about these things.

I have sent you a PM re the contact email addresses at NAS.

If you post the names of the parties involved in that 1875 marriage I will check the UK overseas indexes for you. They are available on various subscription services (such as TheGenealogist, FindMyPast)
