Ordering on line for marriage

I am trying to order a marriage certificate on line but know only the year and quarter of the marriage, not the exact date (something I am trying to find). It will only order if I supply the exact date so it is a chicken and egg situation. Any way around this?

If you have the GRO refs.......which you must if you know the year and quarter....make sure you 'check' the box where you are asked if the GRO refs are known.

If you don't tell them you have this info, the request for actual date is automatic

Many thanks, something I perhaps forgot to do -- I'll try again.
