Chinese term or phrase: 湘民结子
This comes directly before a number in a marriage certificate. I'm guessing that it means they were married in Hunan province? I'd be grateful for any info!

English translation:湘民结字 Marriage Certificate issued by the Hunan (Provincial) Government
Explanation:
湘:湖南 Hunan province
民:民政 civil administration (organisation)
结:结婚 marriage
字:字据 certificate, written pledge

a word of caution: although I'm pretty sure that 湘 stands for Hunan province but it's worth checking that it doesn't represent some other places, such as 湘潭, in this particular case。
Best wishes
