Natalie Apart from buying the marriage cert, you could see the marriage register in the county records office, but you would need to visit, you can't see it online. You could also check the baptism records which should give the father's full name, mother's first name (possibly maiden name) and perhaps the father's occupation if you are lucky. You could then search for father and mother's marriage in the registers. But of course they might not have married there... nell

Have you looked on LDS site? Someone on the site may be able to find them if they have the baptism records. The marriage cert will give parents names but to go any further back it will have to be parish records. Finger's crossed ! Alice Sorry I am dozy! You found marriage on Family search! Eyes going.. Off to bed......
