Hi missbeeby

There are three possibilities  for Joseph Beeby in the IGI
1. JOSEPH BEBY  - Christening: 04 SEP 1781 Medbourne, Leicester, England
2. JOSEPH BEEBE - Christening: 18 MAR 1781 Saint Mary, Hinckley, Leicester, England
3. JOSEPH BEEBY - Birth: 14 SEP 1783 Isley Walton, Leicester, England

These are all extracted records from the Parish Register.

If he is No. 3. his parents are
Father:     THOMAS BEEBY    
 Mother:     MARGARET

There were no marriage certificates before July 1837

Stan

Not strictly true Stan see -
http://anguline.co.uk/cert/certificates.htm There you will see a 1793 certificate issued in 1798 and a link to a 1796 certificate issued in 1885 in addition to many other samples of certificates etc.

Modern civil registration (birth, marriage and death) certificates began in 1837 but not certificates.
A certificate is only a certified copy of an entry in a register.

Guy that is not a marriage certificate though is it?  It is  in fact the marriage licence that was granted prior to the marriage.

Doh I should have scrolled down where the cert is situated

Stan

To be absolutely correct there were no General Register Office birth, marriage, or death certificates before July 1837. Certificates of Baptism were issued by the clergy, as well as a certificate to confirm that a marriage had taken place, or that a man had been buried,  to support for example, an application for an army pension.

beeby,

In the UK there are two formalities before marriage one of which as to be satisfied.  The firstis marriages by banns which is basically the name being published for three weeks prior to a marriage and if the marriage is to be in a church then they have to be published inthe parish church of the bride and groom.  The other is by licence which can be issued under circumstances where it would be impracticable for banns to be read.
