London marriage licence help
« on: Thursday 09 August 18 21:54 BST (UK) »
Hi

I've found a St. Marylebone marriage for William Scott & Elizabeth Richardson - 6th May 1798.  It says marriage by licence but I've tried a couple of databases and had no luck finding it.  Does anyone have better eyes than me?

Thanks.

The image is on ancestry, both are of the parish, witness Thos. Reid?, John Wittock, he signs most so probably the parish clerk. All parties signed the register.

There's a Scott (groom) + Richardson (bride) 1798 Vicar General Marriage Licence
Only have the free index (on FindMyPast), don't know what other info, if any, is given

Thanks all, was hoping to see a reference to Derbyshire from the Richardson side but seems I'm not in luck on this occasion.
