Adam--thanks so much for this information.  I'm not sure whether it's one of mine, though think it may be.  Thus far the earliest I have is a Sarah Richardson from Waites (?) who married a Joshua Archer in Garrigill in 1762.

Do you happen to know if it's possible to get more information about these marriages, other than simply the names of the couple and the date of the marriage?  Or was that all that was entered in the parish register at that time?

As you can see, I'm getting used to this RootsChat after your initial assistance!

By 1762 there ought to have been a "proper register" with witnesses etc.  It all depends on whether or not it has survived.  If there are only Bishop's Transcripts - BTs - that survive, then these will probably have nothing to add to what you already know.

Thanks, Geoff
I know that when I contacted the Cumbria Archive Service they were able to give me me more information from the Garrigill marriage register than I was able to get online.  Do the local parish churches still have their records, or have they all been moved to a central location?

I would assume that the Records Office at Carlisle would have (copies of?) the registers, but I'm only guessing.

Yes, I know they at least have copies-I'm just wondering if the originals are still with the parishes. Actually I could easily ask them.  I've found the Cumbria Archive Service very easy to work with--do you have experience with similar entities in other counties?
