Does anyone have access to the original PR to see if any parents' details are given. Many thanks.

No parents names are shown on marriage entries of this date, the only info shown is the participant's names, status ie batch, spin. or wid., OTP ( of this parish) or other,  date & church, name of priest, & two witnesses, both participants sign either by name or X.

Ah yes! Some clues there, "Charlotte" may help quite a bit. Plus the fact they could both sign their names. And both of the parish, that's good.

I have found parents' names now and again on marriage records, and not just as witnesses. So it's always worth a try. Many thanks all of you.

Thanks yes, I'm really having to do a bit of detetive work on this one as Eliza claimed to have been born in Essex, as well she may have been, but I'm baffled as to why, so unsure yet if I've got the right marriage here.
