Thanks for your help, guys. Mystery solved. I thought Ancestry had fully transcribed indexes, but I was wrong. It's actually no better than FMP.

A Little complicated this one, on her half Sophie Tucker is married to David Maxwell - King
Doncaster July 1981 3 0690
on his side he is registered as David M King

Sophies side has to be searched by quarter and letter as it doesnt show on the regular search, it may just come up as a blank page on FMP?

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

"marriage search facility is somewhat limited" do you mean that you would have to search 1/4 by 1/4 for each year beacuse that is exactly how we'd have to search on Ancestry

I have an undated newspaper cutting regarding the marriage of Charles Cole and Sophie Tucker in Doncaster. Charles’ age is given as 70 which, from previously gathered information, would date the cutting at around 1980. The problem arises as I do not know what names the marriage would have been registered under. When Charles died in 1986 it was registered under David Maxwell King. As for Sophie, who claimed to be the granddaughter of the Sophie Tucker, this too may not be her official name. My sub is to FMP and its marriage search facility is somewhat limited. Can anyone with access to Ancestry please come up with chapter and verse?
