Here is the address for obtaining marriage certificates in Northern Ireland for births and marriages in the Civil District of Newtownards:
The Registrar for Births Deaths and Marriages
Ards Borough Council

The price for a marriage certificate is 11 pounds. This has to be a United Kingdom Check or United Kingdom money order, as they do not have the option for a credit or debit card.
