    Yes, and as pennydog has a church for you (post # 5) get a copy of the entry in the parish register from the relevant archives office.
    Transcriptions - which is all you've seen so far - have been known to be wrong. And there are times when the vicar's writing is atrocious, and barely legible, so copies sent to the GRO are liable for mis-transcription en route.

    The certificate of Samuel & Selina's marriage is on Ancestry so getting an original wouldn't be different. The script is clearly "Selina". The GRO index was accurate in this case!

    Thank you Peter - I'm so glad you've put me out of my misery by finding him.

    Ooops. Sorry, I didn't know Ancestry had original images for (at least some of) Yorkshire.

    Will go back to sleep.
