Calendar of Wills etc
« on: Wednesday 14 September 11 15:01 BST (UK) »
Hello
The following may be obvious to seasoned researchers but I have just come across it and am puzzled. Does anyone know firstly why a marriage would be contained in the following and secondly where I could locate the actual record please and thirdly what does the following actually mean?
"Text: Wm. Dracott, Fellmonger , & Ann Stableford, lic 04 Sept 1780
Book: Calendar of Wills Proved and of Administrations Granted in the Commissary of the Peculiar and Exempt Jurisdictions of Groby, 1580 - 1800. (Will)
Collection: Leicestershire: - Register of Marriages, 1555 - 1837
"
Thank you

 Then I think the reference to the book is confusing as the marriage is from Collection: Leicestershire: - Register of Marriages, 1555-1837 Original data: Electronic databases created from various publications of parish and probate records....This database is a collection of historical parish registers from Leicestershire, England. The 132,800 records in this collection can range in date from the early 1500s to the mid- to late-1800s.
