Hello Lindyb65, I am sorry but early marriage records before 1837 only give the names of the couple who are to be married and the year. I had a look at the original and the only extra detail is the names of the witnesses they were John Oaks he signed and Mary Oakes who made her mark X. Both the bride and groom signed the register. Sorry I could not help more. Moma P
 
Me too I have Joseph Hunt married Maria Bagley 10 September 1832 St Martins Birmingham. The Father Wm bagley and Mother Phoebe the same as Di.
 
I found a Mary and Joseph Hunt 1841 census living Primrose Hill Duddeston Nechells both aged 30 with 3 children John 6 Jane 4 and Joseph 1.
 
Thank you fergie that is my great grandfathers family,i was trying to see if i could find out josephs father and Marys father but this information isnt on the parish record only witnesses i believe.

Certification did not start untill 1837. I have already posted the info from the original parish register.
 
:angel: Moma P is correct in post 3#. I think that is all the info' you will get on this couple until the 1841 census, as I to have looked.
 
With the greatest respect, I have to disagree, as the records at the library are pre-1837. I obtained a Marriage Certificate dated 1780.
 
Are you sure it states marriage certificate Harborne. Sorry to be a pain but as far as I am aware the only records kept before 1837 were Parish Records. These were the actual records taken at the time of the marriage by the Vicar/Priest some had a lot of information others not much depending on how enthusiastic the person who filled the register in was. The other records would be Bishops transcripts these were copies of the registers sent to the bishop. I think it would be interesting to find out what the actual record is that the Library are sending out.
 
To quote an excerpt from a letter I received recently from Birmingham City Council Register Office:

"As Civil Registration in England did not begin until 1st July 1837, I am unable to comply with your request.

Prior to this, the records are in the form of Church Parish Records which are often available at the larger Public Libraries. For Birmingham the registers will be held by Birmingham Central Library."

Hope this helps.

I've looked through my paperwork this morning and can only think I must have been thinking pre-1937 as I don't have a marriage certificate dated before 1837, the ones I have are copies of Parish Records. I can only say I got utterly confused (it's an age thing) and apologise to you all as you were right all along. Sorry, too, to B65. I hope you'll accept my apology. If I could bury my head somewhere, I would!

Hello Harborne, Don't worry we all make mistakes I know I have. You have clarified it now so thats fine. Just as a note to this sometimes if you can find later parish records around 1880's some contain as much info as a certificate with just the cost of a photo copy. Copy certificates have to be ordered from Register Offices. To save wasting money on the wrong one put as much info as possible wth your request ie. I only require this certificate if the father's name is so and so.
 
My paternal ancestors come from the Forest of Dean and the Forest of Dean Family History Site ,https://www.forest-of-dean.net/?Home have now transcribed over 223,000 records of births ,marriages and burials from parish records into a searchable database,with free access to members.These Parish records cover a period from the 1560's up to to-day although they do operate a cut off period of 90 years for baptisms 70 years for marriages and 50 years for burials These records vary in content,but the 2 examples show just how much information can be found in these records.This database certainly made my search both possible and a lot easier,if only such a database was available for Birmingham.
