Where to find Marriage Licence/Allegation
« on: Tuesday 30 December 14 10:11 GMT (UK) »
I think I may have asked this previously  ::) but would someone kindly remind me where I might find a marriage licence/allegation record.

I have the original marriage records but hoping for further info on the licence.
One marriage was in Kent 1821 and the other in London 1839.

Thanks

Ancestry has marriage bonds and allegations for London and Surrey, 1597-1921, from London Metropolitan Archives' holdings.

Any use?

Thanks Koromo - I have had a look thru Ancestry but couldn't find the correct licences.

I've tried the usual pay-to-view sites but still can't find anything.
I'll keep looking - I do hope they're available somewhere even if it's not online.

Appreciate your help

Try the relevant county record offices (ecclesiastical archives).

Depending on the location in Kent - Marriage Allegations are held at either Canterbury Cathedral Archives, or for the Diocese of Rochester at Centre for Kentish Studies.  For the Peculiar of the Deanery of Shoreham - Lambeth Palace Library.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Marriage licence issued by the Bishop of London are held at the Guildhall Library, these haven't been digitised.  They include licences issued for parts of Essex and, I think, Hertfordshire.  There are some published transcripts but they do not include all the licences.  I've two I need to see but as yet haven't got to London.

Now that might be just what I'm looking for as I can't seem to find what I'm looking for elsewhere.
Have you emailed or asked at the Guildhall Library for help?

Thanks smudwhisk - much appreciated

Allegations for marriage licences issued by the Bishop of London are no longer at Guildhall Library, but now at LMA.

What are you hoping to find out from the 1839 document? Allegations for marriages after 1837 rarely give more information than the marriage record itself.
