Thanks for the input. What's the best site to get Cert's? GRO or somewhere else?

Always get certs from the GRO

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/menu.asp

You may need to register if you are not already so.  As this is a marriage the certs will cost £9.25

Hi Radcliff. Attached is a photo of a stamp that is on Alexander Jolly's Master Certificate. It indicates the gift of the telescope, but it's great to now know some more details. Thanks again.
