Two suggestions.

You have a thread already:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1171422

No need for a new one, and in fact a new one isn't really consistent with the rule against multiple threads / same topic. It is a whole lot easier to follow the info as laid out in that thread than it is to read the one long sentence in your post!


If you've sent for the marriage certificate, you have a few days to wait until you have actual information and may not even need help. But it makes little sense, in terms of other people's time and effort, to go looking for something that is going to be a known quantity within the week!

When you get the marriage certificate, all you need to do is add the info (all the info on it) to that thread.

The other benefit of doing that is that anyone who posted in that thread already will see that there is new info. There's no guarantee that they will see this new thread at all.
