Quite a few are available on eBay. Before the 1830s records were kept at the church and sent to the bishop. IN the 1830s all were supposed to be sent to Somerset House.<br /> Genealogical socieities have put out books on how to find such records.Regencyresearcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828749339318882968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-13087634359650684112021-03-17T09:48:41.999+00:002021-03-17T09:48:41.999+00:00Sorry, it's not something I've ever looked...Sorry, it's not something I've ever looked for.

They likely married by common license because the special license was limited to people of higher ranks. A common license named the church where the ceremony had to take place. people weren't supposed to marry out side of their parish but it didn't invalidate the wedding. However, if the girl didn't have parental permission the marriage was invalid and they had to marry again with permission to have a valid marriage and legitimate children.Regencyresearcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828749339318882968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-13630093783928989902020-06-11T11:17:25.351+01:002020-06-11T11:17:25.351+01:00That sounds an intriguing mystery.

Perhaps she was pregnant and they married in a hurry to ensure the baby's legitimacy, away from their home village to avoid scandal, and she lost the baby and so they married again 'properly'. Just guessing! You could establish residency in a parish by living there for 4 weeks. Alternatively, as she would still have needed parental consent, the first wedding might have been voided if no consent had been given.Rachel Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058142939706153724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-26690964318078340602020-06-04T12:08:18.379+01:002020-06-04T12:08:18.379+01:00I get the impression that some marriages could tak...I get the impression that some marriages could take place very much on a 'no questions asked' basis. The register shows that my ancestor Ann Farwell Roper was married by licence in April 1815 to the curiously named Isaac Backaller Moly. That she, a seventeen year-old farmer's daughter from a tiny village in Dorset was marrying a man fifteen years her senior from the same village and yet being described "of this parish" does inject a certain doubt into the proceedings! Curiously, they then married again a year later in their Dorset Parish Church, at which they were described as Bachelor and Spinster. Must be a story there!

The Prince wasn't made Duke until later. he didn't marry again until Lady Augusta died, and then married without permission. Queen Victoria gave the woman her own title. There was no chance of children with the second marriage. The son of the first marriage was bitter about being labelled a bastard despite his parents having been married in two ceremonies. What I would love to see is the will of Sussex to learn if he ever supported his children or left them anything when he died.Regencyresearcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828749339318882968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-9867191854886229202020-01-03T15:17:37.226+00:002020-01-03T15:17:37.226+00:00Sorry, I do not have access to those records.

The entries stated their married names and then 'formerly' before giving the lady's maiden name - like the Shelley entry above. No clue that Prince Augustus and Lady Augusta were already married in the registers though. But then, if they had realised who they were marrying, the ceremony wouldn't have gone ahead. Seems strange that they did not recognise a royal prince, but I guess they didn't have the media coverage they get today!Rachel Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058142939706153724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-71608487303739767012015-09-24T11:52:52.689+01:002015-09-24T11:52:52.689+01:00Fantastic and answered some questions I had.

The marriages of those marrying by special license were supposed to be registered there. Prince Augustus and Lady Augusta had already been married in Rome. Great details and bibliography.
