In keeping with many of those marriages in big cities pre-1837, that's all there is! Sorry Clarkie, we can't give you what was not recorded. Not even witnesses names on this one.
Hi Maurice,
I was hoping someone would have access to the original marriage records which commenced in 1754. These are on Ancestry, these records generally record some details, I am no longer a member.
That is from the original marriage record image on Ancestry. Send me your email address in a Private Message and I will email you a copy of the image of the page.
Hi Clarkie, I wonder whether baptisms can help you. I've found these baptisms all at st. martins in the years after the marriage. maybe one of them is your family so it may give you address and occupation. all have parents joseph and sarah edwards.
