I recently applied to the GRO for a copy of a certificate for the marriage of Ellen Holmes and Tom Barker, which I found in June qtr 1912, Mansfield district. This was the reply I got from the GRO
"This marriage has been cancelled by the registrar as in 1912 it was required that the woman had to have her father’s permission to wed, she had stated that he was deceased but obviously at some stage there was doubts to the truth of this information".
Anyone have any ideas on how to get more information on this?
