Market Drayton 1771 Shropshire Marriage - POOLE and COOPER - COMPLETED

[larzus]

Hi,

I have been researching for  a few years but have never requested a lookup before.  Apologies if I do this incorrectly.

There is a reference on familysearch Marriage Indexes to a marriage between James Poole and Ann Cooper on 28 Jul 1771 in Market Drayton.  I cannot find a reference to parish.  If they are the couple I hope they are, they were Anglican.

I would like to know any details the marriage may provide, especially parent names and witnesses.   

Is it possible to obtain any of these details? 

I am a little puzzled by this couple as my James Poole's family was in Caynham and as far as I can tell his wife Ann came from Shrewsbury.  Why they would have married in Market Drayton is a mystery.  However, James was in the military and may have been posted near her.

This is the only marriage of a James Poole and an Ann which fits my family, that I have found. The eldest known child (Mary Ann Poole) was born in September 1773 in Ludlow. 

In case it helps:

James Poole born circa 1745 son of the Reverend Edward Poole (confirmed by Will)
Ann born circa 1747/1748 in Shropshire died 1833 in Leominster Herefordshire (confirmed by death record, newspaper announcement and grave inscription)

Known Children:

Mary Ann b 1773 Ludlow
Frances 1776 Ludlow
Jane 1781 Ludlow
James 1786 birthplace unknown
Caroline 1778 Mordiford, Herefordshire

I will greatly appreciate any information, advice and suggestions.

Seems to be at the Anglican church inDrayton in Hales.  Just a single line entry in the register:

July 28 1771 - Mar - James Pool and Anne Cooper.

That's it!  Sorry no more detail.

Much appreciated.  At least I know there's no more information to be had.
