I have got two marriages by licence.
I have looked in my reference books and it advises to look for the licence. Are they easy to find and do records offices usually hold them?
One is for a couple in 1873 in Sheffield. He was 23 and she 24, so not minors.
The other is for OH's great-great-grandparents in Southwark in 1834. I found the marriage entry in the parish register. They would have been of full age and both were "of this parish".
Has anyone else successfully found the licenses?
