Hi Marjorie, I have just acquired a copy of a marriage licence which was called a Bond & Allegation. You could try contacting:- http://www.shropshire.gov.uk/archives.nsf They were kind enough to inform me where I could get the copy from, which in my case was Lichfield RO, as the marriage was in Baschurch.
