Few Marriage Licences are online and most are still with the County Record Offices . Many survive and are worth looking at. They do not have banns because the marriage taken place quickly, various reasons why, such as pregnancy, somebody going into the armed forces, being able to afford to marry without bothering with Banns, runaway or under age marriages. The point of a Licence is Quickness.
