Perhaps they were both working in the Glendale area when they met and married. If you know one of their fathers' names you could use that as a checking point when you order the certificate - then you would just pay £3 instead of 7 if its not your couple. Sorry, this is no help at all if you wanted the marriage cert to find out the fathers' details.

...Or is my thinking befuddled - now that's true!! I have found a Birth entry that could be my g.grandparent's marriage, Robert Wilson/Ann(ie) Douglas - 1889 - March Qtr - Glendale. This is not the area I was expecting. The district of Glendale covers much further North than the Tynemouth area their first child was born - 1891 Census - 3 mths - Hartley. From info gathered so far Robert has been constant about place of birth Boldon,South Shields. Ann(ie) on the other hand can't make up her mind - Woodhorn/Broomhill/Amble - these are Tynemouth/Morpeth districts. They did settle in Amble and went on to have 3 further children. Do I risk the £7 and the long wait (GRO) or can anyone suggest another approach to be more confident about the entry. Sorry this is so long and thank you for any help. Mary
