I have found GRO index for my Grandfather's marriage in India in 1914. Where can I get a copy of the certificate?

Do you have his name, just in case the British in India collection on FMP has more detail, or even an image - it can be pot luck for the early C20th, but if you post details someone here can check for you.

Hello Mardox and welcome to the Community boards.




I'll let Mardox know how to return to their replies. :-)

Hello Mardox, do you have access to FindMyPast to check the India records?

Hi Marie,
Yes I have access to FindMyPast, but could not see how to get a copy of the certificate.
The GRO reference from Gwyn is where I have managed to order a marriage certificate.
Many thanks for your help.

If the marriage was included in the British India Office Marriages collection then there would be a record to view.
