Hi. Thanks to Merry, I was able to send off for my Uncle Pat's marriage cert.
Don't often get them direct from GRO but as London, did so for this one.
The cert is all in the same spidery handwriting, including the 2 signatures of the couple. On the old certs I have, the couple normally sign themselves. So has been good to see their handwriting or just that telltale X.
My uncle was definitely literate.
Is this normal for the later certs? Was in a register office.
Thanks.
