Hallo You said in an earlier mail that Bridget was married to Malachi HYLAND, therefore Bridget's surname would not have been HYLAND when she married. She would have been John's sister in law, not sister. All the registration districts you've given are all over the place. None of the marriage certificates will give both parents. You will only get the father's name on an English marriage certificate unless the bride or groom is illegitimate. If that is the case you may get no father's name or a fictional name or that of an alterative male relative. Connie in London
