Is there anyone able to look for a marriage certificate for me.
John Bedford married Maria Hagerty 5th Sept 1853 in Tasmania. I know John Bedford was serving in the army,Maria was born AT SEA about 1834.
I would like to know who her parents were.
Many thanks

You will find information about Tasmania Certificates here

https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Australia,_Tasmania,_Civil_Registration_%28FamilySearch_Historical_Records%29

According to the above site the following information is to be found on a marriage so may not help you to find Maria's parents.

These marriage records generally contain the following information:

Name of bride and groom
Date and place of marriage
Age of bride and groom
Occupation of groom
Names of witnesses
