« on: Saturday 20 June 15 22:08 BST (UK) »
Hello, can some one help by deciphering where Mary is from and her father Samuel. I think it says after their names but cant make out what it says. The marriage was in Cheshire so i imagine the place will be in that county also

Richard Raphson and Mary Higginson, spinster, were both from Waverton. The licence, issued on the 31st, allowed the marriage to take place in Waverton, Hargreaves (= Hargrave?) or St Michael's Chester. The bondsman was Sam(uel) Higginson, the bride's father.

(It's not a marriage record as such, but shows that a licence to marry was granted. You would have to check in the named parishes, and perhaps elsewhere, that the marriage did actually take place.)
