	Yes I went to the LMA (London Metropolitan Archives) and got copies of the Parish Register entries for my husband's Gx3-g-father's 3 pre-1837 marriages (2 to the same woman - my husband's Gx3-g-mother!). You won't get the same degree of detail as from a post-1837 cert, but it should say which parish they're from (not necessarily the same as their birthplace), and you'll see their signatures (or Xs) and those of the witnesses and the person who took the service, and it will say whether it was by Banns or by Licence.
