When you ordered then, it should have given an estimated date of despatch. Allow 2 or 3 days extra for UK inland 2nd class post.
From what other's have said, its about an extra 3 weeks for overseas posting.

Just had another look Gary while you are waiting for that marriage certificate. The Philip A Knowles that I dismissed in 1891 because he is single may still be a possibility. Elizabeth Eves and her son Arthur are actually lodging with that Knowles family when you look at the actual image.

For some reason this marriage doesn't show on Freebmd

Also both appear as single on the 1891 census - a bit odd?
