Joanne

First of all could you take off the caps lock when posting because it makes reading the enquiry hard going. thanks.

As you are new to researching then you should bookmark FreeBMD website as it free to search for Births/Marriages/Deaths.

You cant view certificates online ,you can purchase a copy from The General Register Office (GRO) Southport.at
www.gro.gov.uk

you have to register, Free, and then follow the instructions. You do need the GRO ref which you can find from Free BMD . have found this one for you but have a look at the site yourself and have a practice searching .its VERY easy.
anyway here's the marriage ref . you only need to quote one name and make sure you tick the box on the first page of the order that you have the GRO ref . certs cost £7 with that ref.

Marriages Sep qtr 1871

WHITNEY Patrick Sheffield 9c 641
BROWN Mary Sheffield 9c 641
