I have found GRO index for my Grandfather's marriage in India in 1914. Where can I get a copy of the certificate?

Do you have his name, just in case the British in India collection on FMP has more detail, or even an image - it can be pot luck for the early C20th, but if you post details someone here can check for you.

Researching:
Eayres (Northants/London) Walker (Surrey) Loveday (Northants) Moore (Tipperary)

Hello Mardox, do you have access to FindMyPast to check the India records?

Hi Marie,
Yes I have access to FindMyPast, but could not see how to get a copy of the certificate.
The GRO reference from Gwyn is where I have managed to order a marriage certificate.
Many thanks for your help.

If the marriage was included in the British India Office Marriages collection then there would be a record to view.
