Boyd's Marriage St Mary Le Strand

[akissling]

I found a marriage record that I am interested in trying to find in the hopes there are a few more details and I can look at the an original entry. It is the marriage of "James Rowth" and "Sarah Right" married in 1647. The FindMyPast transcription (Boyd's Marriage Indexes, 1538-1850) states the marriage was in Westminster, St Mary Le Strand. Am I lucky to just get the transcription? Would there be more information if I went to a library e.g. my local Family History library and located the correct volume of Boyd's in their book collection? I tried to find the record in the St Mary Le Strand records available through Ancestry in their "Westminster, London, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1558-1812" but it looks like the years 1645-1651 are missing. I could not find a note in the volume that went before and after as to why these years are missing. Any information would be helpful and thanks!

What type of additional info are you hoping to find?  Marriage entries from that far back give very little info

Good question. Groom's occupation (a longshot!) or was the marriage by license? Can I assume that St Mary Le Strand is the church where the marriage took place (I see it is also a parish)? I was hoping to take a look at the handwriting from the actual record even it was from The Bishop's Transcript record, to exam the groom's last name more closely bc I think it is possible James Rolfe (sometimes Rolph) that I was looking for in https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=871503.0. I should have put this in my original thread but forgot. Thanks for asking!
