If you are considering asking for a Record Office look up, please ensure that you have the church, year and quarter that the marriage took place. NOTE that a marriage cannot be looked up from the GRO index information only, these details are used to order the certificate from the GRO which you can do online at http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ Ensure that you check the new pricing and services available at http://www.ips.gov.uk currently £9.25.Unfortunately, using the LancashireBMD site, you may often find that the marriage took place “Register Office or Registrar Attended”. This might mean that it was in a Register Office, but it might also mean that it took place in a Roman Catholic or Non-Conformist Church, then it’s down to you yet again to try to figure out which church might have been the nearest to where they lived.
