Marriage Certificate

[BigDogsWang]

My wife and I married in 1991. At the time the Vicar made a **** up with the certificate.

My wife's mother remarried after my wife was born, so our marriage certificate should have read "Smith, known as Brown". Instead it reads "Brown, known as Smith".

Does this mean we are not legally married?

(Brown and Smith are made up names by the way).

You are legally married. :)

Contact your registry office and the error can be corrected by 'marginal notation' - your wife will probably need to provide her birth certificate and other identification such as driving license or passport.
