Yes you are entitled to marry an English person in your 6 month visa, this will automatically give you residency in the uk.

the above reply is wrong I am in the same position as you my American Boyfriend is coming over to the UK on 6 month travel visa and we intend to marry during this time. I was told by the registry office that no body will marry us without a fiancee visa (£500 and not guarenteed to be granted) or a £300 Certificate of approval to marriage (you need to apply streight away as they take upto 70 days to be proccessed and you have to give notice of 16 days to be wed so it cuts it very fine. http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/applying/generalcaseworking/coaformarriageorcivilpartnership We are embarking on the same jorney as yourselves I would love to be in touch with you see how you get on. He came over last week and was imeiediately deported back to the U.S so now we want to just get married and that be it but even on getting married still does not mean he can stay... You will have to apply for an extension to his visa .... then after the extension runs out apply for a settlement visa. Its so expensive and screwed up. Please keep in touch if you wish. Switch

Even if you marry someone in the UK you will have to wait for 2 years to get the PR and 1 year further to be eligible to apply for citizenship. http://www.tier1visashop.com
