Manchester Cathedral marriage 1799

[Jan Br]

Can anyone look up a marriage that took place in Manchester Cathedral on 26.10.1799 between James Cromwell and Mary Shallcross? I am particularly interested in the names of their parents and the towns they came from.
Thanks

Jan,
The Library is undergoing work, so no-one can do look ups for a while:

However it is very unlikely that a record from 1799 will have parents' names or locations - this information wasn't required until later. Here's a link to what you can expect:
