Have you tried your local LDS Church. They will probably have a Family History Section which can get copies of many records to order for you to view at their premises. Jim

Can you get the details supplied for the licence if a cert wasnt issued. I cant get to see the parrish registers as I am up North in Staffordshire and cant drive due to my poor vision. Most of my relatives are from Staffs so I can get there info by taking the bus, this is the elusive line and it just happens to come from over 150 miles away

As far as I am aware there were no Marriage Certificates pre 1837. We have to extract info from Parish Registers. There are a number of Transcripts about, but beware of errors. The best way is to get sight of the originals. Many of these are still at the relevant Parish Churches, although a lot have now been deposited at Archives. Jim, Gosport.
