Just heard on the news review on sky news that in future mothers names are going to go on the marriage certificates, big step forward should have happened a long time ago. |

Now you know Maggie these things take time, small footsteps and all that stuff, and we all know men like to think they are in charge, but I must give credit where credit is due the Bishop of St Albans did put the idea forward :-D :-D :-D |

Well, as genealogy can, in all reality, only be truly traced through the mother's line - it took the male hierarchy a long time to realise this fact! :-D :-D :-D :-D |

The additional information will be added to the "digital register" but the physical register books will not change and prob. not the paper certs. either. |

The marriage certificate change should have happened in 2014, largely in response to an on line petition which David Cameron agreed to implement. It did not go ahead then because the Home Office objected on the grounds that it discriminated aginst single sex couples. |

Well apparently the home office have agreed and along with the Bishop of St Albans it is going to happen in one form or another and as I said one small step leads to bigger steps |
