Taryn Since there is a record of STANLEY groom that matches your family along with RICHARDS groom of 1910 in Vernon which shows as not being filmed, it's my guess that there is a problem with access to the original records for the vital events (give it time, I search repeatedly for months before getting my g-grandparent's marriage record) Search Results for Marriages Index: 1 Record(s) Displayed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- 1 Groom Name: JOHN OLIVER STANLEY Bride Name: ALICE RICHARDS Event Date: 1910 5 7 (Yr/Mo/Day) Event Place: VERNON Reg.

I found a NOT FILMED entry not long ago and I emailed to the address on this page (under frequently asked questions) http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/services/inquiry/faqs/vitalfaq.htm#nomicrofilm and just asked if there was anything I could to to get the record. She wrote back and asked for my snail mail and then mailed out a copy to me. I sent it off to someone who needed it and we were all happy! I imagine it doesn't always work out so well, but it's certainly worth asking.
