Jean The marriage info does sometimes tell you if the bride/groom is "of this parish" or not, so it may be an indication about whether or not you will find their baptism details there. Helen |

The earlier ones - pre 1837 - will usually just give the basic details (John Smith married Ann Jones 2/5/1820 or Daniel Smith son of John baptised 3/8/1821). It depended on the vicar who was making the entry. |

Depending on the date of the record you might get father's occupation and address on a baptism entry, and you might get occupations of both fathers on a marriage entry. Stan |

Does anyone know what information you get from the parish records in England? Would a marriage/birth give the fathers occupation or the parents of the bride & groom? Jean |
