My posting several weeks ago re. Marriage Bonds available at Cheshire Records office has resulted in a partial success. I received the copy of the original Bond and Allegation last week. It clearly states a an impending marriage between James Dobson and Margaret Armstrong, both of the parish of Liverpool, and commits James Dobson to a £500 bond in the event of his failure to marry Margaret and states that there are no barriers to their marriage thus granting them a licence. The disappointing part of the document states both parties ages as 21 years which I understand means that they were of age of consent and could be 21 or 51 there's no distinction also there is no mention of parents of the couple further hampering my search for another generation. The Bond was dated the same day as their marriage Sept 23 1793 at St Johns Haymarket Liverpool which seems like a rather rushed process explained by a birth of a daughter 27 Jan 1794. Never the less it is a historic document that I treasure and is a route that could be taken by other researchers if their ancestors were married by Licence in the Liverpool area. Dave Ontario Canada

Carolyn, Below is the general address for Cheshire record office, you can submit your query to this address. If you are searching for a Bond and Allegation the couple would have to be getting married by Licence. I was able to submit a marriage date, location and the names of the couple. However I¹m sure that the record office can provide you with some guidance . Good luck, please keep us informed Dave D. <recordoffice@cheshireeast.gov.uk> Dave D. > Hi Dave, Can you please tell me how you accessed this site? thank you, Carolyn > > At 11:19 AM 10/25/2009, you wrote: > >> My posting several weeks ago re.
