Thanks Sandy, Forgive my ignorance but what is a PM? Post Mortem?
I don't know what the procedure is in the Northants record offices but in Sheffield there is no problem in copying a marriage from a fiche or a film.
In the past, we did have to fill in a copyright form, but this was done away with at least a year ago or more,and now we can copy whatever we want. I know that this is the same in the Nottingham, Lincoln and Derbyshire archive and record offices, so I assume that it should apply to any other record office.
For example, I answered a query on this site a few weeks ago from someone wanting a marriage look up in Sheffield archives, where I go regularly. I looked up the marriage for her and also took a copy of it which I then emailed to her. It only cost me 20p but was worth it to know that she was very happy to have the proof of the marriage in front of her.
That is why I posted my request, to anyone visiting the record office that holds the parish records for Crick, to see if they could obtain a copy of the marriage for me. I suppose that I could have contacted the record office, but expect that they would probably charge a lot more than someone on the list. I do have the date of the marriage as someone did send it to me from the Marriage index disc, but have no other details.
Thanks carose
