Marriage of James Hawker to Ann Preece St. Martins, Birmingham.

[ankerdine]

On 11th May 1807 apparently James Hawker married Ann Preece at St. Martin, Birmingham.

Can I apply for a marriage certificate for this from Birmingham Registry office direct please? Will it give details of parents and witnesses?

Currently getting a little bit confused with these ancestors of my husband!

Thank you.

Before July 1837, when civil registration began, only the witnesses will be shown not parents; although a parent might be a witness it will not be noted as such.

Thank you everyone who has posted here in response to my query.

There's more to do now with this additional information.

I'm sure I'll be back in touch again as you are all so knowledgeable on here! 😁😁

Thanks once again.

I telephoned the number at the top of the page (using the link) but there was no reply. I thought I had become a member of this family history society way back in the Summer when I attended the Who Do You Think You Are 2017 show at the NEC.

i couldn't quite understand the difference between the £4 and the £5 image. I thought the wesite a bit confusing but maybe it's me! 🤔

Thanks Jim1 for that nugget. It may help.

Why don't you just go to your local library, search Ancestry for the entry, and download it to a "stick"?

[ankerdine]

Yes, that's a good idea. Thanks BumbleB.
