In my parish records, there is very little info. On census records for a village, addresses arent usually given for a small settlement - all mine just say "cottage". |

Parish registers would give exactly the same. If you were lucky you might find that the banns register has survived and you get snippets there sometimes. It is common (and maddening) that the name of the village is all you get sometimes, especially on early certificates. It is worth looking at the witness names. They often link into the family but could also be friends of bride or groom, or just the parish clerk. |
