If you have to research in County Durham then Durham County Council have a very useful site This has most of the BMDs from County Durham ( but excluding areas like Sunderland which used to be County Durham but now aren't -- I believe all the marriages are available with information of spouse! ) http://nd.durham.gov.uk/gro/newgro.nsf/search?open&C0927367120612062013$ the link above is the search page, they ask you to bookmark the Online Services Page, which is this one http://www.durham.gov.uk/pages/Service.aspx?ServiceId=6604 It's not obvious how to get to what you want from here -- click on APPLY FOR IT --then scroll down (a long way) to REGISTRATIONS AND CERTIFICATES, select Copies of birth, marriage and death certificates This takes you to an introductory page full of useful info, scroll down to the bottom and click on Search the indexes ... Have fun and don't get carried away
I knew it wouldn't be long before someone called me that! My user name has now got as short as it can, or has it? Christel
Just to say the links above no longer work Try this instead: https://www.durham.gov.uk/article/2256/Order-a-copy-of-a-certificate
