Work out when you think it should be and start there. You ahve to be incredibly patient and methodical. Look carefully at each quarter and dont forget to cross refernce. I wish you good luck. I had real problems fnidng my grans marriage certificate and the people at Liverpool were very helpful. Don't forget there were a number of register offices in Liverpoolbefore they put them altogether. Unfortunately for me my hours of research proved fruitless when a family member confirmed my gran had not married my grandad. But you have to look don't you!

Keep looking, Barbara. I thought my grandparents hadn't married because I couldn't find them in the St Cath's indexes. However I found their marriage on Lancashire BMD, 21 years after the first child was born. He eventually made an honest woman of her! Lilian

Hi Lilian, no it definitley didn't happen. But the great thing was that after discovering all of that, we found my mum had a half sister and they are now in contact, so lots of good came out of my fruitless search!

My top tip is to make sure you keep a record of all searches which were NOT successful. Trust me it'll save you hours in the future! Anne
