You don't need the fathers forname in order to order a marriage certificate - just the name of bride or groom and the GRO reference. |

All you need to order a marriage certificate is the reference numbers and year and qtr plus one of the couple's names. You don't need father's name. |

I can't understand this at all, because I have ordered loads of marriage certificates from the GRO and I have never given parent's names. All you need is the information that you find in the GRO index (name, year, qtr. district, volume number and page number - you don't even need the spouse's name). |

I've just gone onto the GRO site myself and started to fill in the order form and it only asks for the person's name who is getting married - not the father's name. Have you clicked to say "yes" the GRO reference is known? |

David, you do not require the fathers forename, just do as mentioned before, enter the type of event,then tick the "Is the General Register Office Index known? yes button, enter the year, fill in the delivery details, then see this at the top "Either the man's surname and forename or woman's surname and forename must be given." |
