William Webb in Lichfield, Staffordshire COMPLETED

[chuckva]

 :)I am looking for documentation of the birth of William Webb, on or about 12 November, 1741 in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Of slightly lower priority, I'd like to confirm  that his parents are William Webb and Mary Leeds. Also, that they were married on or about 14 December 1740 at St Chad in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Finally, if it were possible to determine when and where these parents were born, it would be extremely valuable, although that is less critical to me.
If you can manage it, actual copies of the documents would be great. I'd be happy to reimburse your copying and shipping expenses. If that's not possible, please give me the most precise reference information that you can.
Since I live in America, this isn't something I can readily do for myself, so your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Chuck - welcome to RootsChat.

If you're looking to see the actual registers entries there are a couple of ways you can go about this. You can order films of the registers at an LDS Family History Centre - there's a charge and it takes a few weeks. You could also contact the Staffordshire Archives service and use their services - they hold the original registers and filmed copies and will print from the latter at a charge - as you've got the specific church and dates that would keep the costs down.

Glad to have been of help, and good also that I keep all my notes from various searches 

As I've quoted the marriage licence, then it must be in existence, and is held at Lichfield Archives, as the Diocesan repository.  The staff in Lichfield are very helpful
