Army Marriages

[gillyflower]

Can anyone help please. I would like to know how I can research Army marriage records. would they be available online? also perhaps marriages at sea. Thanks

It depends, because not all of them are available online, but a for a good starting point try the free record set "British Armed Forces and Overseas Banns and Marriages" on FindmyPast. These are generally just indexes but the references are enough to order the certificate from the GRO, although the amount of detail in them will vary.

Thank you I will do that.

FMP also have British India Office Marriages (and births and deaths), which have the originals, if you are looking for that country

Andromeda & MollyMay thank you so much I never thought of that. Yes I do believe India is the country too .

Any further suggestions please? I don't seem to be having too much luck. Do you think I will find anything on Family Search.? Ancestry no good. I realise it is probably a dead end but worth a try. Thanks.

Can you give a name and dates so we can have a look for you?
FS do have some India church records, so might be worth looking there - @Archie's Mum is a wizz at finding things on FS

Also, if you don't have a subscription to FMP, you will probably be able to access it at your local library for free.
