Hi Debi,

You could try FreeBMD.
Quick search there for Henry Hornby 1900 to 1910 yielded the following:

*********************************************
Unfortuantely none of these yielded a marriage to a MARTHA. (You can find this by either entering the christian name of the spouse, or as I have done by doing the search then clicking the VOL/PAGE to goto the results showing (Normally!) 2 men and 2 women).
So I expanded the search to include 1890 to 1910 which threw up a marriage in 1895 to a MARTHA SHORROCK
HERE.

Marriages Jun 1895
Surname First name(s)  District Vol PageÂ
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eatough  Lydia       Blackburn 8e 732 Â
Fairhurst Townley     Blackburn 8e 732 Â
Hornby   Henry      Blackburn 8e 732 Â
Shorrock Martha      Blackburn 8e 732
Hopefully this is the correct person. If you believe it is, You will need to get a copy of the marriage certificate either at the registry office in Blackburn HERE or online HERE
Let us know how you get on please,

All the best, :wink:
