Hello all , I wonder if anyone can help trace a William Thomas Eccles born 1744 Birmingham /Warwickhire i have no parents for him so at moment i have a marriage in 1767 to a Mary Thomas in St Nicholas .nothing else .Also if i did pay for marriage certificaite would it show their fathers on it ? Any help i would be grateful .
 
Hello, as far as I know certificates at the Register Office don't start until 1837, before that the names of parents aren't usually included on the parish registers.

P.S. Ancestry have some parish registers for Birmingham but the site seems to be "down" today....sorry!

Looking at the marriage record on the Latterday Saints Family Search site for William Eccles and Mary Thomas in 1767 it says that it took place at St Nicholas Church in Warwick, Warwickshire not in Birmingham which is also in Warwickshire.

You would need to look in the town of Warwick for the Eccles Family here are some links

https://www.bmsgh.org/parish/warw/tyaiw/warwick.html

The latterday saints site also gives the births of some children :

https://familysearch.org/search/rec..." +birth_place:Warwick~ +birth_year:1700-1740~

The only Eccles listed in 1777 Directories for Birmingham was a Samuel Eccles who was a butcher in Deritend, no William listed.

The marriage record for William and Mary at St Nicholas does not show parents names. (It is on Ancestry) and simply says they were married by banns on ....teenth (big ink blot) day of April. The witnesses are William Thomas and Benj someone who seems to have been a witness at most marriages so I suspect he was the sexton or verger or similar.

there is a burial for William Thomas Eccles on 28 September 1800 at St Nicholas, no age given.

I think the burial above is of a different person - it comes up under the birth of a William Thomas Eccles in 1771. There is another burial record at St Nicholas on 11 June 1817 of a William Eccles born in 1744. The address (or abode) is given as Mill Street.

Mary's burial is listed as 19 November 1823 aged 73. She is listed as a widow and her address is also Mill Street.
