Hi Edna, You more than likey can obtain the christening and marriage dates from the LDS Family History Centre nearest you. I obtained the same information for people from Scotland of Lanarkshire by this same method. The information was on micro fiche. It is quite cheap for the LDS to have it brought in and kept at your local centre.
