I fully understand what your saying Erika. Sometimes in the past I have purchased certificates only to find someone has scanned theirs and put it online!

Thank you ErikaH and ArgyllGran for your help today, appreciated.

You can’t ‘look before you buy’ except in certain areas, and certain eras.

You’ll almost certainly have to buy a copy cert to find out the father’s name

Hi Everyone, as the weather has been a little poor I decided to revisit a part of my tree I don't look at too often. I couldn't find any of my WAYs to look at, but I ended up chasing my tail on someone I thought I had completed.

This is Rosina M HANDY. I wanted to look at her marriage certificate to George William LOCK in 1936 to check her husband was the son of Herbert Ernest LOCK. I can see the marriage in the indexes. I thought I would look before ordering the certificate. I looked in ancestry, Find My Past and FamilySearch.
The marriage took place I think in south London.

Any help with this would be appreciated.
