Randall Perry Marriage 1788 Soho

[tanyal]

Hello

I found the details of this marriage in Pallot's Marriage Index for England.

Hy (Henry) Randall married Meliscent (Millicent) Ann Perry 11 May 1788, St Anne, Soho. I know the original documents are in Westminster Archives. I'm hoping some kind person will look it up for me (I'm on a limited income and the charges for making out British cheques are pretty high: I live in Australia).

Hi Tanyal

The City of Westminster Archives would most probably give you a transcription of the entry without making a charge. Have you asked them?

(They only usually charge (£4) if you want a photocopy of the entry.)

Researchers in and around London are few and far between, you may get a quicker result with direct contact.

What extra information are you hoping to find?

Marriage entries from this date don't have ages, occupations or fathers' names. All you'll get extra to what you already know are the names of the witnesses and whether the couple signed the register of left a mark instead.

I hadn't thought of asking them. Thanks so much, I'll do that.

As for what extra information, I'm hoping that a relative was a witness on the marriage.

Let us know how you get on.

Will do (just sent an email to the Archives), and thank you.

I have a photograph of the film for this marriage, I can send you a copy of the marriage record.

You may want to put it through image processing to get a clearer image, but it is just about readable.

Thanks so much. I replied to your PM.
