Hi lynda_carol

Seen from your profile you've not been on rootschat for a while.

Do you still need this look-up?

I'm planning a daytrip to the London Metropolitan Archives either 7th or 14th April.

I'll add you to my list.

Unless the fathers acted as witnesses, their names aren't shown, but witness relationships aren't shown either. Fingers crossed they are names you recognize.

Transcription from St Pancras marriage register 1820

This register has to be one of the most faded I have had to look at recently and was therefore very difficult to read.

James Hope Drummond of this parish (then either) bachelor or gentleman (I compared it to other entries, there were apparently both, and couldn't make up my mind!)
and Katherine Sage of this parish spinster
were married in this church by Banns
this seventh day of August in the year 1820
by me (illegible)
This marriage was solumnized between us
Jas Hope Drummond (signed his name)
Katherine Sage (signed her name)
In the presence of
? ?amp (signed his name but he's the parish witness, his signature is all over the register)
Elizabeth ? (again illegible, sorry)
