Does anybody have access to the original parish registers for Wallasey, film, fiche or online?
I have a query re a marriage on the 4th of November 1740.
On the 31st of October 1740, a licence was recorded for the marriage of John Rogers of the parish of Wallasey and Sarah Rowlands of the parish of Bidston by Mr Urmston. They were to be married at either Wallasey or Bidston. John Rogers and Sarah his wife have children baptised and recorded in Wallasey parish registers from 1741.
No marriage for this couple is recorded at Bidston. We have a marriage according to transcripts (not B.T.) at Wallasey of Thos Rogers of Wallasey and Sarah Rowlin of Moreton (in parish of Bidston) by licence on the 4th of November 1740 issued by Mr Urmston Surr.
I think this is an error reading Thos for John either in transcription or by the minister recording the marriage but would love to see the original parish register entry or facsimile.
