Hello...would someone be kind enough to look up a marriage of a Thomas H Thomas to a Sarah Bowen.. I have them getting married in Bridgend in 1877. Many thanks :D

Hi
To look up a marriage in the parish records you need to supply details of which church it took place in. To help narrow any search you need to include the quarter in which it was registered which you will find on freebmd
These are all the areas within the Bridgend RD

Hi, it does not look like the marriage is online
1877 marriage https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2DPT-6JK
Possibly obtaining the cert will give you the fathers info, witnesses etc.
No hint on census for info to prior family members. Just the couple and children.

Column 2 - 4th marriage down "Mawrth 17eg .....".
"March 17th in Tabernacle, Bridgend by the Rev. J Davies, Minister, in the presence of the Registrar, Mr. Thomas H Thomas and Sarah Bowen both of Brynmenin".

Thank you all for your replies. I was hoping the marriage would be available to view online somewhere as I wanted to know if I have the correct Thomas H Thomas (born in Castle Dyrran/Clynderwen Pembs) Father John Thomas occupation Tailor, before going ahead and purchasing a marriage certificate. I guess this is the only option now. Once again thank you all for your help, much appreciated ;)
