I'm looking for either a marriage cert or a marriage announcement of my father Donald Hawkes and his bride (wife) Phyllis. I do not have Phyllis last name but do know my father was born Dec 30, 1930. He was in the army at the time of the marriage to Phyllis and his rank was a Cpl. I believe this marriage took place sometime between 1942 - 1952. My Dad ended up going to the Korean War in 1952. Thank you in advance for any help that has been sent to me.

Hi, If you are looking for family information - you will want the Registration of Marriage ./ Long form Marriage Certificate - rather than the short form certificate of marriage [ which is good for proof of an event - without showing personal information to those with no need to know }

Full registration - is one of the more accurate documents - Will show names of Bride and Groom - Age - Place of Birth - Residence ) occupation - Religion - Names of both sets of parents including maiden names of the mothers - place of birth of parents -
Marriage by Banns or Licence - Place of Marriage - Date of Marriage - name of clergy - Religious service - Names and addresses of Witnesses
