Hello lara, you will also need the volume and page no. and area. If you have them check I think its about £11.50 instead of £7. Ive just thought !! As you KNOW the name of the groom, thats all you will need with the reference!! No need to have the brides name checked.

you only need the blokes name, quarter, volume number etc. You don't have to know the wife's name

I wonder if Joe was related to your Isaac? Anyway, Karen has now given you everything you need to order the cert online for £7. Just click on marriages and fill in as much as you can with Isaac's details - no need for the bride. Good luck.
