One way to get a "copy of a marriage" is to go to your local LDS Family History Center and order the film containing Great Synagogue marriages. Then photograph or photocopy the relevant page of information. If you are near London, the Family History Center has the microfilm already there so you don't have to order it. Similarly, in the US, most of the large city FHCs probably have that film on the premises. If you need details on how to order a film and which one to order, please contact me.
