This record has just popped up on the Family Search pilot site and of course I would be back from my UK holiday when it happens.
Is it possible to get a transcript of a marriage record for 8th March 1837, Benjamin Mason Woulidge --can be spelt various way - and Elizabeth Coyston ? Just in case there are a few extra details not on the index?
Or maybe some kind soul can just remind me what is usually on the record at that time, so I am not driven mad with curiosity if there isn't anything...
Thanks in advance
Jane.

As the date of the marriage was just prior to civil registration you will only find the occupation, whether they signed the register and two witness names - these used to be "professional" witnesses but you may be lucky and get a relli.
The marriage was on : http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm
and may be on here soon:

Thanks very much, velpremus. Witness and profession even would be a bonus!
Thanks too for the two references, it is not on the OPC site, apparently records from that date haven't been extracted for the Cathedral. The IGI didn't throw it up previously because of a very weird spelling variation of the groom's surname. I was able to cross check it from the FS pilot site via the bride's surname..
So if anyone has access to the microfilm, it would still be a huge help
Best wishes
