A Walsall marriage

[hardrada]

Dear Rootschatters,

Does anyone have access to Walsall Marriage Records; and if so, would they mind looking up one for me? 

The wedding in question took place on the 27th February, 1838 at St Matthew, Walsall between Thomas Harper and Nancy Partridge.  My need is to know the name of Thomas's father (particularly; Nancy's would also be helpful, but is much less important).  This is for elimination purposes not because this Thomas and Nancy are in my family (they are not), but because the names and ages and place of birth and dwelling of this couple all too neatly coincide with that of the couple who are my great x three grandparents. 

Once I know the name of the father of this Thomas Harper, then I can move forward one way or another with the man I think may well have been my ancestor's parent: remove him from or keep him where he is on the tree.

I have contacted Walsall registry office with the query, but have so far had no response and may never because I am not buying the certificate. 

If anyone can assist me, I should be most grateful.

Thank you for reading.

Best regards,

Anne

Hi

If you live in the area - the marriage can be looked up in the parish records at the records office

Hello Carole,

Unfortunately I live several thousands of miles away in Arizona so cannot or otherwise I would have.  Indeed were I living anywhere in England still, I 'd have made the journey!  But thanks anyway - you weren't to know.

Regards,
Anne

Did you get the details from familysearch site? I notice no witnesses there. I've checked the freereg site and they have not covered it yet, they've been done up till 1837 unfortunately yours falls just outside. I may be going to a record  office where i can access in the next fortnight so if any one does n't look it up before then i will do so. If you don't hear anything remind me!
