	Using the local index at: http://www.westmidlandsbmd.org.uk/ West Midlands Marriage indexes for the years: 1925 Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference DAVIS Victor FORREST Dora Dudley Register Office Dudley Register Office DRO/056/152 so if this is the marr, it didn't take place at Christ Church Quarry Bank, but most likely in the rego office (or the registrar had to attend an RC marr). Either way, you'll need to buy the m.cert to see details. EDIT Incidentally, if you ever did do a look up in the parish register, then it's handy to know the entry # (it was 152 in the above example).
