Uk Civil Marriage early 1900's
« on: Tuesday 09 June 20 12:37 BST (UK) »
Hi All hope you are keeping safe and well out there. Looking for a bit of advice could someone tell me what information I might glean from ordering a full cert for a marriage in 1907? I have a short copy cert from many years ago it gives the parents names but no more information about them at all would there be more if I ordered a full one? I am stuck on this man for many many years and would love to make a bit of progress with him. thanks all

Google “contents of a UK marriage certificate” and you will find images of examples. It will not give you all of the parents, but will tell you the names and occupations of the two fathers, if they were known. Be aware that it was quite common for a person who did not know about their father to make up information to hide unknown parentage.

    Marriage cert
Day, Month and Year the marriage took place
    Full name of the Bride and Groom
    Ages of Bride and Groom ( 'full age' means over 21 years)
    Status of Bride and Groom ( Bachelor, Spinster, Widow/er, Divorced)
    Jobs of both Bride and Groom
    Addresses of both Bride and Groom( OTP means Of This Parish, meaning they had an address for possibly as little as 3-4 weeks in the parish prior to marriage, not that they were born in the parish)
    Full names of both Bride and Groom father's
    Occupation/Profession of both Bride and Groom Father

BUT the marriage cert contains both primary and secondary information, and most of it is secondary. My great grandfather married twice, he names is father on his first marriage cert who was acually his grandfather and on his second marriage cert he names his father who was acually his uncle and his actual father was still alive, it is 'told' information, so secondary.

Are you referring to a certificate from England & Wales?
Scottish certificates have more info (Scotland was and is in the UK! ;D )
And, of course, Ireland was also a part of the UK until 1922.

I have never heard of a short marriage certificate?

I'd assumed the Celtic Damsel was actually meaning a birth certificate, and that it was simply a miss-type for that, I've never heard of a "short" marriage certificate, either.
