	Hardly any of us use GR for searching for records. Other sites are much better - eg - FreeBMD; Ancestry; Find My Past; familysearch, etc. Although I've never used GR for searching records, I've now experimented with it . I find you have to specify "Marriage" as an "Optional Keyword". If you don't specify "Marriage", it will show you all sorts of records on all sorts of dates, regardless of what dates you chose. As I said - other sites are better for searching!
	Researching: Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
