I thought I just proved, without a doubt, that she married William B. Smith in Stockton on Tees in 1899.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

On Free BMD, Mary Hooton and William Bowes Smith married Dec. quarter 1899, Stockton. (Vol 10a Page 119)

Go to general register Office here:

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

and follow the instructions. You have the volume and page numbers so never pay more than $7.00 (that should be pounds, of course, I'm in Canada)

You're right, June, certificates started in 1837, but, as Reg says, it wasn't compulsary until 1875 so a lot of people just didn't bother.
