London marriage licences

[wonkiewidge]

Hi,

I have a query.

I have found a marriage that I'm interested in on the Pallot's marriage index on Ancestry for a Hy Clement (Paddington Mdx) = Charlotte Eade (w).

They were married by lic. in 1830 at St Giles in the fields.

I then tried to look up the details of the licence on Ancestry on this database:

All London, England, Marriage Licences, 1521-1869 results for Clement

No trace. Presumably the marriage took place as it's on Pallots.

Question:  Why can't I find it?

Any help appreciated, and a nudge in the right direction.

I understand the records for this parish are not readily available on the Internet.

The registers for St Giles in the Fileds are still with the church, they haven't been deposited for safekeeping at the London Metroplitan Archives.

It's only the deposited registers that have been scanned and transcribed onto Ancestry.

The LMA does have some registers on microfilm.

That database specifically covers:

   Bishop of London’s Office (1521-1828)
    Dean and Chapter of Westminster’s Office (1599-1699)
    Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury (1543-1869)
    Vicar General’s Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury (1660-1679)

(note dates).

It might be a case of working out which offices could have given them a license to marry in that church and checking where those are for 1830.

Hi,

According to another site the licence should be available from the Society of Genealogists (Vicar General Marriage Licence Allegations 1694 - 1850) - for a search/copy fee of £10; date given is 27th Oct. 1830

Thanks for the info.


I'll have to see where I go from here.

Cheers

Many thanks Dawn.

Do you think the licence will hold any additional information?
