	Details contained on a marriage certificate include: * date and place of marriage * name, age and condition of the bride and groom * occupation and usual address * name and occupation of each person's father * names of the witnesses * the person who solemnised the marriage

Not trying to put you off, just if it's your relatives ages you are hoping to find you won't necessarily get them. Regards Richard
