Exchange your unwanted BMD certificates
Obtaining copies of birth, marriages and death certificates is vital for genealogists in order to confirm your family's history. Unfortunately it is quite possible that you will purchase a certificate that is unrelated to your family and therefore not needed.

This web site provides a free service for genealogists and family historians who would like to offer their unwanted BMD certificates, wills or medal rolls to other family historians who are researching ancestors with the same name.

Listing your spare birth certificates, marriage certificates or death certificates is completely free! All we ask is that you register with the site in order to list an unwanted certificate or to make an enquiry about a particular unwanted certificate. This means that people can enquire about your certificates whilst ensuring your privacy.

Thankyou Jan, Joy and Andrew, i will send for marriage cert. Best not let hubby know the one that came today was the wrong one. I know this ones right though. If you know where i could dispose of it i'll give it away as it's no good to me. Thankyou

To answer your question briefly, you need marriage cert which will give you information, after that it's parish records. A lot are on IGI which can be accessed on Familysearch site as given above.

There are several submitted records for the christening of an Edwin Eaton on 5th Sept. 1815 in Sheffield. Parents shown as Samuel and Alice. A copy of the marriage cert would confirm fathers details, if known.
