Hi, No, parish records pre-1837 for marriages usually only give bride and grooms names, whether of the parish or not and witnesses. You sometimes get occupation and marital status but not fathers details. Sam x |

They don't usually. Back then it tended to be marriage by banns/licence of John Bloggs yeoman of this parish and Jane Doe spinster of this parish, witnesses Tom, Dick and Harry |

Hi, Can anyone tell me what information the Parish Registers include please? I have found a transcript of the Cornwall Marriage Registers and I think my gt gt etc grandad married a second time after his first wife died. The dates of his marriages and children from both seem to fit. However, the transcripts only give his name and his marriage partner's name. Would the original registers give his father's name? As it was in the 1700's I would only have the registers to go on, and would willingly make the trip if they had more info on them than the transcripts. Many thanks for any help Bex |
