    I can't find anything on the marriage cert indexes but did find the following, not knowing my English geography, it may be way out but worth a mention.

    IGI - Extracted entry
    John BROOKS, married Ellen Elizabeth GARDNER, 30 May 1887 in Stockton.
    ages at marriage given as - John 21, Ellen 20

    Will keep looking but let me know what you think.

          Oh thank you. It does look asthough that is them. I am always amazed that I can be sooo stuck and someone on the forum can find what I am looking for and so quickly.
          Thank you.

              The other spouses on the same page as John and Ellen in 1886 are Frederick Highland and Ada Palmer, and Frederick has a wife Ada in 1891, so it looks as though that's the right marriage.

                    If you're looking for a post-1837, pre-1911 marriage where you know the full name of one party and the Christian name of the other, FreeBMD is the place to go. Ancestry can't do that search as far as I remember.

                        But even if I do a search for John in 1886 - as above - I still don't get a marriage on Ancestry - what am I doing wrong??

                        I can get it on free BMD OK.

                        ah but if I look for Ellen on ancestry then I find her but it is one with only 3 entries to the page - so John is missing altogether on Ancestry

                          I got my result from FMP. I find them very good for BMDs and the censuses.

                            That's why I can never find them then, Thanks.
