Hi Connie Fathers' names and occupations of grooms and fathers do not appear in marriage registers until 1 July 1837, after which CofE marriage registers confirmed to the format prescribed by the 1836 Marriage Act. The 1814 entry will, however, tell you whether the parties were single or widowed, what parish they were residing in at the time of the marriage, and, probably whether either was a minor (under 21). You will also get the names of the witnesses. The marriage register in question is available via Ancestry. The pair were both single, "of" the parish and of full age. The witnesses were, if I am reading it correctly, James and Jane LODGE. Mr LODGE witnessed a number of other marriages on the page so he is probably a church warden or similar and Jane his wife, rather than relatives or friends.

There's not enough information there to be sure the couple are the ones I'm looking for so I'll assume they are not until or unless I can find some other information that will confirm whether or not they are. -- Connie http://oursalmons.wordpress.com/

I've been told there was a baptism for a William Lawrence JOHNSON in 1816 in Staines to parents William and Sophia. Almost certainly the couple who married in 1814 in Feltham. The father was a wheelwright so definitely not the couple I was looking for who had a daughter, Sophia, b about 1821. -- Connie http://oursalmons.wordpress.com/

It certainly doesn't look very hopeful. What else do you know about "your" Sophia?
