There is a Lichfield marriage of a John Dawkins to Elizabeth Dale on 19th May 1746. It looks as though that may be where it was recorded, rather than took place, because none of the abodes on the page were in Lichfield: e.g. Birmingham.
John's abode was Austrey, Warwickshire, which is just under 5 miles from Snarestone.
There is a licence which gives John as 22 and Elizabeth as 25, also of Austrey.
