Member Since: August 2003 Posts: 61 Send Message	Hello, can anyone advise me what I have to do now? i'm a bit new to this! I am trying to track down the marriage information for my GG Grandfather Henry Richardson, marrying Prudence. I know from FreeBMD that he married in the Mar 1881 quarter and the vol & pg number. So can anyone help, or do I now have to go to Macclesfield to find the record? Thanks Sam

	The info you have is all you need to order the cert on line from the GRO. It will cost £7.00.....make sure you use the official government site......there are some sharks out there.............and tick the box where it asks 'are GRO refs known?'
