If you get the marriage cert, it will say if by banns or licence. If by licence, then it was issued by the Bishop (not personally), so you will probably find it in the B'ham Record Office, or they should be able to tell you where it might be. I doubt that a vessel would sail all the way from L'pool to London, before leaving for the New World, but you could check that. If you are sure he was born in L'pool, you could ask a researcher in L'pool to check it out. The city was not large then & there were only a couple of parishes. There was also a presbyterian chapel, I believe. |
