William Bird - full age - bachelor- labourer - Hurst Street - father: Michael Bird - Labourer
Eliza Lacey - full age- spinster - servant - Bromsgrove Street - father: Joseph Lacey - Cordwainer (both with E in LacEy)

Both William and Eliza had signed with X mark

in the presence of: Robert Powell (signed own name) and Susannah ? (signed with X mark)
 
Pick no birthplaces are listed on marriage records. William is of full age a Labourer of Hurst Street. His father was Michael Bird, Labourer.
Eliza is of full age a servant of Birmingham Street. Her father was Joseph Lacy, Cordwainer.
The witnesses were Robert Powell and Susannah Sparner not sure of the surname Sparner it is difficult to read.

Opps you beat me to it Polly xx
 
We must have been looking at the same time Wendy. I'm glad I'm not the only one that couldn't read Susannah's surname :05.18-flustered:
 
Thanks so much Pollypops and Wendy -have just found your replies as am having big problems with my computer. That information is so helpful to my family research.
Thanks again and I hope this works!!

PS - You might like to know that William and Eliza went to Utah with other Mormon Pioneers. I think it was in the 1860s.
