Mctaggart/ Briggs (Broggs)(Marriage Cockermouth)

[Fraochale]

I am looking to find the marriage records of Thomas Mctaggart and Jane Briggs ( Broggs) in Cockermouth in 1853.  I am not familar with the process of finding the actual document only found them in indexes. I want to find out if Thomas's parents are listed on the license/certificate.  Can anyone help me as where I go to get a copy of the actual document?

I always find it a difficult website to get around - this is the direct URL

Thank you for the site, I'll check it out. I am a bit used to dificult sites as the National Archives for Scotland is sort of the same way, great info when you actually get to it.

I sure will. I was surprised to learn from their site that the current "on again off again" mail strikes in the UK won't effect international mail.  I find this hard to believe as I am still waiting for photo copies from three weeks ago when I was the West Register House in Edinburgh and am still waiting for my grades from last semester from the Archival program I am enrolled in at the University of Dundee plus some info from the historical society in Dumfries Scotland.  Hope it won't take too long.
