Not dumb at all. Marriages always took place in the quarter they were registered in so Jun 1912 could have been any time between 1st April to 30th June. Births and Deaths appear in the quarter that they were actually informed to the registrar, which could be weeks, months or even years later. |

When I first started I asked Question: How can I find the names of the parents of a young lad. I gave the young lads place of birth and date of birth. Answer was: have you sent off for his birth cert?? Doh!! Why didn't I think of that. Sue xx |

Peter the answer I got was something along the lines if a marriage takes place in a registry office then that is the day it is registered. |
