Janet It depends what year you are looking at. On later fiches the groom's surname is shown after the bride's name. Hope this helps. Lynne Sale CHS

Pamela Irving The actual site mentioned is 1837online where you can view copies (10p each view)of the fiches recording births, marriages and deaths. It's just another alternative to visiting the Family Records Centre and viewing the fiche itself to get the GRO reference which you need to order a certificate. Hope this explains. Lynne Sale CHS
