Paul, My GG Grandparents were married in the Church on 8 November 1864, election day for Lincoln. I had no problem, just write the parish priest, offer a stipend and provide as much information as you have. Fishing expeditions will most probably be ignored, i.e. at least provide the names of the brides and groom, and year of the event. Same sort of data for Baptism. Stipend should probably be between 2 & 5 dollars per item requested.
