As far as I am aware only the Bond and Allegation are ever viewable.  The Licence was kept by the church, I think.
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" !!!

I’ve just got back to this again, and looking more closely at Bookbox’s link, I don’t think this film can be ordered to any LDS centre. In fact it seems that no films can be ordered to LDS centres to be viewed anymore. If it’s not online, you’re out of luck.

From what I can see, the only place this film can be viewed is in Utah.

It looks like I might have to go down the SoG route after all.  :)

All LDS films, including this one, have now been digitised. Films are no long orderable. You should be able to view the digitised content of this item on a computer terminal at any FHC or Affiliated Library. I suggest you contact your local LDS centre to check.

Thanks Bookbox. Yes, asking them would probably be wise.  :)

I admit to being quite confused when trying to find where I could view this Allegation, and I just seemed to end up going round in circles.

If you are up for it, you could try asking them (the LDS) to send you a copy of the allegation? :-\
FamilySearch Library Record Lookup. Is this still going on? I have reason to think it might be (I could be wrong!)
Has link to the form(s)
https://www.familysearch.org/en/library/record-lookup-service

I suspect, as far as the film requests go, they would desire that the record is actually indexed on FamilySearch?
But you have the film number
Quote from: Bookbox on Saturday 20 May 23 09:32 BST (UK)
The film you need for the AKERS/STARLING allegation is 368961 (Vol. 158 Jan-Dec 1770).
https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/42202?availability=Family%20History%20Library

You have the date the licence was issued, 5 Feb 1770 (which was the day before the marriage)
If it's still going, you never know, they might do it for you :-\

Ready to be shot down in flames about this!

My understanding is that this (very useful) record-copying service was discontinued when the digitisation process of the LDS films was completed. But I could be wrong.

Hi Bookbox
The LDS had a copying service for a while, I think it was called "photoduplication" and I believe they ended up being deluged with requests. I seem to recall some people boasting about getting round the permitted (weekly?, monthly?) quota by using different e-mail addresses (very naughty)
You are probably right about their digitisation programme being given as the reason for the end of that service.

I think this record copying thing I have linked to may have been started during the pandemic? But perhaps I ought to try the thing myself, see if it works, before suggesting it others!
