How have you got such precise dates when you seem to know virtually nothing about the couple?  What is your interest in them - are you descended from one of their children?

The marriage was to Mary Hays at St Saviour Southwark. Both of this parish. Both signed their names. Witnesses James Hays and Wm West.

 :D Thank you ShaunJ and AVM for your prompt attention.

I was given a book to read today -a history of a friend's family. On opening it I thought the initial family list was somewhat sparse with e.g. born Surrey -without no detail of where.Married Mary-Surrey et al.

I have compiled my own Family History in the context of British History and as my grandparents and father were born in Surrey knew their were more details available. At present I cannot access them until I visit the West Aust Genealogical Soc. so was grateful for any details which I shall type up and give to my friend as an insert inside the dust cover.

Much appreciation to you both for your prompt replies.
