Using a name as a reference check can sometimes work against you. One of mine was variously Henry George, Henry, George and George Henry ... If I'd used his name as a reference check it would not have helped me at all! |

If anyone has the Rimmer family of Southport in their tree they will understand all about reference checking. Even then you can't be 100% sure you have the correct one. |

they also do NOT supply a cert, if a middle name doesnt match either, so sometimes less info is better.... |

They refund £4 and keep £3 to cover the cost of the search. They only do this if you use the Reference Checking Page and not if you just name the father on the first page of the form where you put the details of the couple getting married. |

If you apply to the GRO for a copy marriage certificate with the reference numbers, but the man's father does not match with what you give them, will they refund the payment? |
