Has anyone come across the following marriage?
James Adams to a Sarah Wilton in Holborn reg district in 1864
I am loathe to purchase the marriage certificate as a recent purchase of another GRO certificate had different signatures than that of the original marriage register
If anyone has come across this marriage and details I would be very grateful
Thank you
Steve

Hi Steve
The majority of the deposited registers of Anglican churches in and around London & Middlesex have been digitised and put online. These images are of the actual parish registers and show the actual signatures.
So if this marriage cannot be found there, it took place in a register office, a non-anglican church (Catholic, Methodist, Baptist etc) Synagogue or Friends Meeting House.
These marriage certificates are available from the GRO at Southport but they are compiled from the quarterly returns submitted to the Registrar General and so the 'signatures' are transcriptions. This is true for all old entries, made before technology in the form of microfilms came along.
Unless you know where the marriage actually took place, you will not be able to track down the original register. It is possible that some of the registers are still at the place of worship.
Please note though that if the marriage took place at the register office, the superintendent registrar of that district is under no obligation to let you have a photocopy of the signature on the entry or even have a look at the physical entry.

Thanks Dawn
Just Holborn - and it could be anywhere - though quite interesting that it maybe non-conformist or not a church as such - if correct - James married Sarah who was a single mother - a child was born in 1860 Eliza and if the theory is correct James married her - question was -was she still married but seperated -
In any case - I just don't trust these GRO certificates - I purchased one and the witness signatures were different to that of the register - thanks to colleagues on line they identified the correct ones
Thank for all your help and suggest
Steve
ps Love your logo picture - like an eternal party girl lol

Thanks Dawn and Ray
There is the Church of St Andrew's Holborn - Could this be the place of the marriage?
Thanks for all your help

Thank you very much for checking Dawn
I can't really think where I go from here - loathe to get the GRO Certificate but probably have no choice - thing is I just don't trust the signatures - not always the same as the register - though I guess I'll at least know the church - However, as you intimated - could this have been a Register Office?
St Phillips, I believe is at the north end of Leather Lane: At the South there used to be a St Bridgets - Catholic Church where my ancester Rose Lawless was married to John Street - their daughter, Mary married Henry Robert Adams - son of James Adams - could be that James and Sarah Wilton were married in this church?
Once again, thank you so much for looking
Steve
