I have today received a Certificate for a Wedding at Chorlton, Lancashire Registry Office in 1877
This is the first time I have come across one and wondered TWO things
1)-When did Registry Office Weddings start
2)-The Cert. says married by LICENCE and I wondered where the copy of this Licence would be kept. I usually find Licences for my Lancashire and Cheshire lot, for churches, at Chester RO. Are those for Registry Offices kept at the same place.
Any help appreciated
