Just wondering whether Notices of Intention to Marry are available to view online, or are they just pinned to the noticeboard at the Registrar's Office? I've had a search online but can't find anything, other than mention of the noticeboard , which seems a bit basic in this day and age!

    Hi MR,

    Yes the notice of intention will only be displayed to the public in the registrars notice board.

    We were told that ours would be on an electronic notice board .
    Names up in lights !
    Light travels faster than sound.

    This is why some people seem as bright until you hear them.

    Ooh, why do you want to know? Are you trying to catch someone out?!

    As far as I'm aware they just go up on a board in the registry office.

    I'm debating going back at some point to take a picture of mine if I can - that's really sad isn't it?!

    I didn't get chance to take a picture of mine :( Oh well only 2 more months until we get married.

    As far as I know it just goes up in the registry office not online.

    ...or if you got married in church, (Anglican), the banns were read in the churches where the bride and groom live - on the three Sundays before the date of the wedding! And we were supposed to be in church to hear them read!

    I've just checked up, and this archaic custom still remains! See http://www.thisischurch.com/helping_you/banns_of_marriage.html

    They use the electronic notice board at our RO - the screen scrolls through all the names on a repeating loop.

    No, don't want to catch anyone out! We are getting married soon and I just wondered if it was possible for anyone to find the info online. Not that I have anything to hide from anyone, purely curious!

    No no one will be able to find out the details unless they go in. I called a registry office to get the right time for MIL2B's wedding and was told they weren't allowed to tell me incase I wanted to disrupt it :o
