Hoping someone can give me a little guidance - please. My grandparents, Patrick Chelsea BEESON and Kathleen Alicia WALES, were married at St. Anne's (????) Catholic Church in Rickmansworth on December 24, 1940. I know that they received a special dispensation from the Church because it was on Christmas Eve however, BMD is not showing any marriage registration listing for the couple. Actually now that I look at it more closely my dad and uncle are not shown in the birth registration listing either from the area. Where do I go from here, how do I obtain a copy of a certificate that is not listed as registered? Thanx for any assistance or direction!
