The only records I can see are the civil registrations.

Where did you get the actual marriage date?

Janette

Janette Report 6 Oct 2018 15:13

The marriage date was given to me from an old relative

9 William Shaws of right age in 1841 in Liverpool. None has a father named Jeremiah

The specific date doesn't actually make any difference, as there isn't a parish record online for the marriage as far as I can see.

For the info you are seeking, you will probably have to obtain a copy of the cert

This one is 'linked' by FMP to William in 1871 and 1861


1851
William Shaw Head Married Male 51 1800 Bricklayer And Grocer Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Anne Shaw Wife Married Female 50 1801 - Liverpool, Lancashire, England
William Shaw Son - Male 11 1840 Scholar Liverpool, Lancashire, England

EDIT

NOT the right one. This one is still in Liverpool in 1861, whereas 'your' William is in Sheffield

That's only the civil record.

The poster needs the image of the actual cert, but it isn't on line

William is a file cutter in 1881. If he followed his father's profession this may be him with his father and siblings in 1851.......
