Hi
My 3xGgrandparents married 26 June 1841 at St Margaret's, Westminster. I've had the certificate for years & was just beetling about on Ancestry when I realised that this is the church next to the Abbey & by the Houses of Parliament.
Did it operate as a standard Parish Church in the 1840's or is there any significance to be drawn from this location? The husband was a servant, living on Charles Street & the wife had come up from Ash next Ridley in Kent & was living on Great George Street. I think they knew each other from Kent originally.
Thanks for reading
