KELLY-HUGHES Marriage lookup please

[prue12]

Would some kind person be able to look for a marriage between John KELLY of Stockport (son of James and Elizabeth) and Grace HUGHES of Llansanffraid Glan Conwy (parents unknown). Their first child John Francis KELLY was baptised in St Nicholas Church, Liverpool on 15 Feb 1818, so the marriage probably took place in 1817.
Many thanks

Hi

Are you sure they married in Liverpool rather than Wales or Cheshire?

I have searched extensively in North Wales but cannot find any trace of them marrying there although they settled in St Asaph later on. Cheshire is a possibility but I think Liverpool is more likely because that is where the first child was baptised. I assume that Grace went into service in Liverpool, as did many young girls from North Wales, and that she met John there. The fact that she didn't return to her home parish to get married may be an indication that she was pregnant at the time, but this is pure speculation.
John Kelly was a skilled tradesman, a painter/plumber.
I haven't been able to find any published transcripts of St Nicholas PRs, except very early ones.
Regards
