Marriage certificates

[Bellas girl]

Hello There
Am I correct in thinking that you can apply for a certificate online, and get a digital copy of it for£3.50 ?

I have just had a look at the gro site, and cannot see how to do it
HELP !!

Sadly, You cannot do it with marriage certificates. You have to pay the full whack.

But to order one you find the details on FreeBMD and then enter those details in the ordering boxes.

Is it one that might be online already?

Thank You

I was hoping that I could save myself the wait.

I do have all the details, but this part of the family has been very elusive.
I came about this quite accidentally. The bride called herself Bertha for years, her actual name was Elizabeth Bertha. Her husband is a mystery too. The family have a double barrelled name to this day, but can’t find him using it….frustrating.
Thanks again

What year was the marriage?  If it’s an older one and the people are no longer with us perhaps we can help with the elusive husband!

Thank You Millipede.
 The marriage took place in 1908.
Your offer to help me is greatly appreciated, however I need to ask my son in law’s
Permission to take it further. I will phone him tomorrow and get back to you.
I have been a doing genealogy for over 20 years now. That is when I used RootsChat daily. I was known as JeannieR then

Always a good idea to get permission  from people concerned although anyone it seems can research anyone

Hello Again..
I now have my son in law’s permission to discuss his family online…
 This is what I know,

Charles Edward NESBIT-Clarke, married  Elizabeth Bertha Gould in Islington, Dec Qtr 1908.
They had one child Edward Stephen in 1912. Charles Edward, committed suicide in 1915.
He was apparently a Cockney, born c1881 in West Hampstead.

I cannot find a birth for him. I have searched using the name .Nesbit and Clarke in all spellings.
He joined the Army in 1914, and passed away a year later.

I was hoping too find his fathers name on his marriage certificate , but I know this site to be very resourceful, so I am going to see what you guys come up with!

Many thanks
JeannieR ( my old Monica, on the site)

Thanks for the information, will see what we can find out, you can still get the marriage certificate of course should it not be online anywhere to view. 
It will have useful information like his age, occupation, residence etc as well as a possible fathers name and occupation.

It could be he was born to an unmarried mother and the two surnames connected that way.

Plenty of trees on Ancestry with this couple in them, if you have access.
