certified marriage certificate & certified marriage record is the same?

Virgil Loatman: A certificate is the evidence you hold as proof of your marriage. the record is what the civil authority/ Parish, hold and file as their proof of your marriage. before you received your marriage certificate you would have recorded your marriage with a registrar or if you were married in church with the vicar after the service. the marriage records are collated periodically. in England every district has a Registrar where you can look up records of recorded births deaths and marriages. I don't know where the record of your marriage would be held but it will be easy to find out. ask your local authority or go to where you were married and ask where the record's go.Hope this helps...Show more
