Details from church register entry (image on FMP, viewed 26 Aug 2023)
Since only CofE clergy could be registrars at this time for marriages in their church, James and Bridget would have had to have had a registrar present, and the full (and original) entry with all the details will be in the local Register Office, with copies obtainable from it or a copy of the GRO copy from the GRO. The church register does not give marital status, occupations, ages or names of fathers.
