The marriages in parish registers in 1811 were recorded on a preprinted page.  There was no place on the form for the names of parents although there was a space for witnesses.  If one or both of the parties was under 21 then the name of the person giving permission was sometimes squeezed in.

pedlar:  I see that you live in Birmingham, so I would suggest that you visit Birmingham Central Library where they have films oo fiches of all the local parish registers (and the staff are very helpful).  That way you can see the marriage entry for yourself, see the bride and groom's signatures, see if the witnesses are related.  Oh, it's so much fun  ;D ;D  And then, of course, there are the baptisms and burials to look at.  Make a day of it.  8)

 Thank you, BumbleB.  I realise that the obvious action would have been to visit the library.  Unfortunately however, as a result of disability, I am housebound and cannot visit for myself.

 Nevertheless, I have relatives who are also interested in family research and, no doubt, as soon as I can contact them, they might follow up for me. 

 But I was hoping that I could request online assistance through the various record sources - such as the library - and since I am a comparative newbie at the game, I was looking for advice in this particular direction.

 Thanks again,

 Cheers,

 pedlar

My apologies, pedlar, I really must learn to look for the second brain cell, before I speak  :-[
