Can't give you his name as he is still alive but it concerns a cousin I have lost touch with. X used to be in the Navy and married his wife while he was in the service, but their marriage does not seem to be on public record. Is it a case of me being mistaken with her name or are service marriages not put on public display?

Might he have married overseas? Was the bride in the forces too?
Is it that you can't find the surname match you expected, or forename?
Re surname, it could be a spelling variation, or due to a previous marriage,(name married under differs from maiden name.)
Forename - people are sometimes known by their middle name or a nickname.

All births, marriages and deaths in the UK are public records and anyone in the world may apply for a certificate for any of them.
All UK marriages must take place in public for it to be a legal marriage any marriage that takes place otherwise than in public is null and void.
