Having recently taken up a new position here at Wolverhampton Archives and Local Studies I was surprised to learn that we cannot supply printouts from microfilms of post 1837 marriages registers. We have been advised by the Office for National Statistics that the Marriage Act 1949, section 63, determines that information may only be supplied from marriage registers in the form of a certified copy of the entry. I am sure in my previous experience in county record offices that microfilm printouts have been provided since the late 1980s. Can any office which does supply printouts shed any light on how they are not in conflict with the Marriage Act? email: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/library/archives.htm The views expressed are personal and may not reflect those of Wolverhampton Council, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
