Hello Jan You quote a date of marriage as 22 May 1792 but you don't say where it was. Assuming it was in the north east of Shropshire then any marriage licence will be at Lichfield Record Office http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/leisure/archives/contact/LichfieldRecordOffice/ Mike ________________________________ On 10/03/2011 16:28, Jan wrote: > I have been looking for a marriage of Robert Wade and Ellen his wife.
