    Default Tanzanian marriage certificate

    Hi. I'm new to the site and am hoping that someone may be able to help me. I would like to track down my grandparents' marriage certificate. The information I have is as follows:
    Grandfather:
    Bjorn Graae
    DOB:20th of January 1906
    Nationality: Danish

    Grandmother:
    Daphne Sander (nee Vischer)
    DOB: 15th of September 1923
    Nationality: Dutch

    I know that they lived near kilosa in what was then Tanganika and I am guessing that they were married at some point in the 1950s (probably between 1952 and 1958).

    If anyone is able to assist me in tracking this down/pointing me in the right direction i would be most grateful.

    Thank you. I was aware of this marriage. George Sander was Dutch and this is how she became a Dutch national. It is the subsequent marriage that is proving more difficult to trace. Thanks so much for your help and time though.

    Hi. Unfortunately my grandmother, Daphne, died earlier this year, and was living in Scotland. I have looked through her papers but there is no marriage certificate.

    No problem. Just wish it was as easy as asking her. The search continues.....

    I am having difficulty in finding any other record for your grandmother other than the 2 mentioned.

    You state your grandmother was a Dutch National, what was the country of her birth?

    Hi. Daphne was born in Basel Switzerland. George Sander died in England around 1960, but had remarried by then.
