Surely  Family Search has what you are looking for. For  your purposes the country is known as Southern Rhodesia or Rhodesia but more recently Zimbabwe. Family Search is calling the records Zimbabwe which is not technically correct for the your time period

Hi Again barryd,

Many thanks for this.

Sadly it does not however have what I'm looking for, as I mentioned in my original post I'm after a marriage that took place in Bulawayo in February 1914.

Regards - Rowlandson

Hi Rowlandson,
I am also looking as to when Ann Sophia (known to her family as Sophia) Waller was sent to Rhodesia (as it was in the early 1900s).  I have been told that the son of the house and Sophia fell in love, and consequently were sent away!! 
I have copies of photos of Sophia, and her two daughters Elsie (my grandmother's name) and Joyce.
Sophia's parents were certainly Thomas Waller and Fanny Peckover.
But, unfortunately like you I have not been able to locate a Marriage certificate.

I am having difficulty in finding in the 1911 census for Arthur Congdon, that shows on Annie Sophia Congdon's Death Notice.
I have noticed that the first child listed is a Frederick Arthur Robert Congdon - may be a clue there!!

Regards,
Cheryl
