I need to send for a marriage certificate. The marriage took place in Chorlton. What registry office do I apply to?
Thanks.

If you don't know the actual church the marriage took place, you would be better to find the marriaage reference and order online from the GRO at:-

Thanks everyone. How long for the certificates to arrive?

Usually about a week, but sometimes when "Who Do You Think You Are" is on TV then it takes a bit longer because everyone suddenly gets into family history.

I think you can order by post with a cheque but it will cost £8.50p instead of £7.

You could give them a ring and ask.
