Cambridge Marriage Licences 1740-1749
« on: Sunday 26 November 17 10:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi Folks,

Looking for a Marriage Licence dated 1745 for Stephen Moule
This is reported on a Cambs/Ely Marriage Licence 1700-1749 (CD/014) via CFHSociety (summary search on their website).

I have searched the Cambs Marr Licences available online (archive.org), FindMyPast - Cambs/Ely Licences , Ancestry etc and also searched for the actual marriage (if it really happened) but have drawn a BLANK everywhere for either the Licence or actual marriage record.

I've emailed CFHS and asked if they could/would check their records in case of a mistranscription but no one appears to be available/answering.

If a kind person somewhere could please tell me a little more about the content of this marriage licence (1745) I'd be ever so grateful.

Thank you kindly

Cheers

Di

I would also contact Cambridge University Library, who hold the Ely Diocesan Records which include BTs and the Marriage Licence bonds.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
He/she who never made a mistake, never made anything.

Thanks BB - excellent idea. I'd forgotten about the Cambridge University Library resources.

Still wishing - hopefully - that someone might have a copy of the marriage licences on disk and would check the 1745 record for me.
