Thank you so much to the person who posted about these now being fully transcribed. As a result of a much easier search, I have just received the marriage certificate (second marriage) of my 'lost' grandmother. Bitter-sweet in a way as it was for 1954 - I now know she was alive after I was born, even though I never knew her, but at least she had some romance later in life (bride 70, groom 75).

And today - if I do have the right Albert Victor Terry (see my posts re Brick wall) - I have received the marriage certificate for his second marriage in 1958. I'm a little confused as I've also got a death certificate for a man with the same name/same date of birth/same location (Canterbury), but in 1948. There are very few AVTs in the Censuses and only one in Canterbury!

I have been able to tidy up quite a lot of loose ends on twigs of my tree with the new searches. While I know I can never be certain unless I buy the certificate, with some rarer names the probability of being right is quite high. Also with the search for births including mother's maiden name - add together place and years of the births and you can tie them up quite nicely.
I would NOT be content to do this with my main family line but I can't justify getting certificates for twigs! I make sure that I enter my 'source' in Family Historian as 'GRO index', which tells me I do not know as much as I would if there were other sources.
I'm looking forward to the deaths being similarly available. I can't persude myself its necessary to trawl through quarter by quarter for deaths on twigs but I will be interested to see them dispatched.

'The truth is out there somewhere' -oh no it isn't - not when it comes to family history research! I believe I have found my granny - and I think that AVT is my grandad - and can olny feel very frustrated that I'll never know whether I'm right - and who is the AVT whose death certificate i bought?!
