The Guild of One Name Studies has developed a new site - very useful.

If you have identified your marriage in the GRO register you can enter the details and it may give you the name of the church where it took place. This might enable you to get the details from the Record Office rather than ordering the certificate from the GRO.

This is still a work in progress and I don't know what the most recent date is in the database, also I'm not sure that RC churches are included, somebody else may be able to verify this.
