John Wotton Pengelly=Ellen Wheal, Married where in Worcester?

[ppen]

Looking for help from somebody who could look-up where the Reverend John Wotton Pengelly (71) married his  Domestic servant of over 10 years, Ellen Wheal (40)

He had resigned from St Michael and all Angels in Blackburn Lancashire 1883,and taken up the position at Alvington Gloucestershire 1884,they then get married according to the BMD in AMJ 1884 in Worcester,they are nonresident so it would have been by licence.

I have tried on line at "The Hive",and have come up with Volume 3.Page 176?.could somebody have a look for me please,I have no idea what a licence shows if anything and wether they are there or at the church? .At least I would like to know what church he was married in so I could visit sometime.

Thanks

    Thankyou so much for that information that is brilliant.I have just had a quick look on Google for details on the church and as you say it was demolished (in 1965) and looks to have been built over by the Cathedral shopping center .

Thanks again
