Hi All

Could anyone give me some advice on finding a marriage before 1837. I dont know what parish it would be in, therefore can't go to those Church records. Any suggestions??

Thanks! x

You should be going backwards. So you have an idea of when the couple married from the age of the eldest child (doesnt always work that way, but rule of thumb)

Give us their names/area and likely time

find them on the 1841 census first if poss...
this will give you an idea of where to look.
1841 census says yes or no to born in the county in which you find them.

Post some names and possible areas and we'll help you?

best of luck
