I did get a certificate like that once and took a copy then sent it back and told them I could not read it, they sent me a clearer copy. Good Luck Irene

Irene Thanks for that advice, its more the handwriting i cant read rather than it being of poor quality, it doesn't help as i don't know the area at all where the marriage took place julie

Hi Sarah Thankyou for taking the time to look for me, you managed to read more than me. I will give Huddersfield records a ring on Monday and see if they can help. Thanks once again Julie

Don't take no for an answer. If they say you should go back to the GRO, tell them the GRO have told you the copy is the best they can provide (lol a white lie) Have Fun Sarah
