i would like a marriage cert on great gran and husband but i have no imformation on her husband only a name. they were married around 1915-1916. I asked gran she said they married brixton. I went on 1837.com and found nothing looking for mary ellen edwards married george sayers.

You may have to broaden the years of your search . Was the woman previously married? Was the husband known by his middle name? My reltives give me information they think is true .But often it is only what they have been told by someone else , it could have errors. They may have married elsewhere. I think you have to be open minded about it all. My Grandfather according to most family was born in Chichester in 1900 and his birthday was March. I traced him born in 1899 in Eastbourne birthday October.... so always widen your search!He did live in Chichester and his grandfather lived Chichester but some of it obviuosly got mixed up over the years.
