I want to obtain a copy of an ancestors UK marraige licence from the 1940's, how can I get this ?

Question

I know that the marraige took place in Liverpool North, in Quarter 1 of 1947.

Answer 1

There are a few options... one would be to apply to the General Registry Office, to the local Registry Office in Liverpool or have someone do a transcription for you. The latter is often a bit cheaper.

If you go to the site below and look at the column on the LH side, you will find all the links you need. Do read the main body of the page first.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

UK answer.

You will be able to order the marriage certificate on line for £7:00 from the GRO  (below).  If  you have their numbers which are unique to them you wont need them if you order from the the Register Office in Liverpool.

If you haven't already got the Volume and the Page number I will be quite happy to  find them for you if you wish to order it on line, otherwise the information above plus their name will be sufficient to order.

The information below is regarding the Register office in Liverpool, there's a phone number as well.
