I know what you mean Inspector but this marriage did take place in the registrars office, and from what I can gather there would have to have been a Notice of intention to marry up to 12 months beforehand and would therefore have been public information anyway...or am I off track?

Interestingly, the Data Protection Act is about the fair use of information, not about privacy, as some might assume.

All that aside, as Shirley suggests, give 'em a ring and see what they say.

Thanks again, I'll give them a ring tomorrow :)

Well I have to say I havent ordered from a local Office so cant be sure what they will need ,some too may be more particular than others but then they have to comply with Data Protection Act. I would say you best bet is to phone and ask them what info you need .

Thanks Jonesey......Shirley, I have the month but not the exact date, will that matter?

Done!

Thanks Shirley, I wasn't sure which was the right board to post on...I'll remove the other two

Claire you should only post on one Board not on every Board you have this on Records where i have repied and also on General .
One post per same query is the GR rule

Hi, can anyone tell me the best way to find the reference number I need to order a copy of a marriage certificate from 2009? My local records office only goes up to 2003 but they said I can find the reference number on line?
Any help much appreciated.
