Catholic Births and Marriage

[Mike-in-Hull]

I recently came across an unknown catholic marriage in my tree. Luckily i know the church so i gave them a ring. The nice chap on phone told me that i would struggle to catholic records online. He said that most record are kept on paper in the relevant church.

Were they definitely in England?

Dad not in the army and children born abroad?  Findmypast has the British Armed Forces and overseas births  - I was born in that time period and mine is on there and not on freebmd

Any reason why I cannot find on Ancestry, two births and a marriage whose mother was Catholic, this was around 1977 - 1980 in England.

Does this mean that the children from those births are not known as adults - the births being around 77/80 rather than specific years.
Religion wouldn’t affect civil registration.
