As you probably all know, I have been unable to find the marriage details for my gt grandmother Emma and her 2nd husband John Garvie. No sign in the GRO indexes from 1879 when Emma's first husband Thomas Mattews died, up to 1909 when John Garvie died.
But I found Islington Register Office accepted enquiry e-mails, so I sent one asking if they could check Jun 1879-Mar 1881 (when Emma and John appear as married on the census).
Got a reply today "It would be best if you contacted the General Registry Office direct"
But if the marriage isn't in the index (which I told Islington) I don't see how the GRO could find it?!
