If the marriage is in one of the areas where there's a local BMD website, you can sometimes search on both names to get a proper match. Even if you search on only one name, you get the correct match of name - and the place where they married. In most cases you still have to order by post, altho' the search process generates a partially completed application form, so that saves some hassle. There are some which don't have such a clear system and some where you can order online. They, too, are incomplete though, so it's a bit of a matter of luck whether you find anything. I've been fairly lucky. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/ has a list of Local BMD sites, and lists when they were last updated. Christine PS - the Local info is the source data for GRO, so it's one transcription less. |

Thanks Janet, I did wonder about that.We are actually going to send for the marraige certificate now I think which might clear it up. Pam |

I had an entry for a woman Tocqueville or Cera. In my case it was a divorcee maiden name Tocqueville divorced wife of Christien Cera. Perhaps your man was known by both names. (Perhaps born Kennedy then upon parents marriage or informal adoption Murphy) Janet |

Is this on Freebmd or Ancestry? If so, it just means the other person involved hasn't been transcribed yet and it will eventually give 2 males and 2 females on the page Ali |

Could anyone explain to me why an entry on the bmd index would have McGowan (woman's maiden name) marrying Kennedy OR Murphy. We conjured up wonderful mental images of a drunken Irish wedding but there is actually a similar entry lower down the same page with two husband's names given. Is there some code here I am not aware of? |
