STANLEY MARRIAGE LICENCES

STANLEY MARRIAGE LICENCES

    Marriage licences (or, more accurately, marriage allegations and bonds) sometimes give more information than is available in pre-1837 marriage records - for instance, the ages of the bride and groom, or the identities of parents. In this section I have recorded such information for as many marriages of Stanley people as I have been able to find. The entries are listed chronologically. Except where stated, the marriages took place at Stanley church and the original documents can be found at Staffordshire Records Office.
