I had to apply to Edinburgh for mine, but it was a very recent marriage. I think Gretna is in the county of Dumfries and Galloway? if that is any help. Claire xx

Hi Pauline, Gretna Green is in Scotland so the records are held in Edinburgh. Statutory records only stated in 1855 in Scotland. I hope that is of help to you. Kind regards Margaret
