Thanks for that. It may help me to pinpoint which actual register office the wedding took place at.

I have looked at my certificate for you

mine says
at The Registry Office in the district of Westbury on Severn in county of Gloucester

The Registrar is hard to decipher possibly H.N? MORSE, definately Morse
Superintendent Registrar undephered then possibly F and then possibly Carter?

my Aunt who died some years ago who started my interest in this said they married at Newnham and so did my own father.

Hope this helps in your own search

Thankyou
I think the marriage probably took place at Newnham. Marriage certificate just states The Registry Office in the district of Westbury on Severn - Pedostrar 's name Morse , can't read second name of Siup[erintendent Registrar . Date 24th Dec 1903

There is a Register Office in Westbury on Severn and regarding dates, my Great Grandfather Timothy Marfell married Selina Ann Harber there 31.12.1882. My Great Great Grandparents Cornelius Marfell & Mary Ann Marfell (cousins) married there 16.4.1853. I have certificates for both.

Where would register office weddings have taken place in the early 1900's if under the Westbury on Severn district and the couple were living in the Viney HILL / Blakeney area ? Was there an office in Newnham?
