Regards, Gordon.> Hi Elaine I suspect that the information Gordon kindly supplied is from a transcript of St John's registers. If anyone has access to fiche/film of the actual registers they may be able to help you with details such as witnesses, whether either party was widowed, and whether bride or groom, or both, was able to sign the marriage register. I have a collection of St John's fiche, (purchased from West Yorkshire Archive Services), but sadly I have marriages only up to 1801, so cannot help you further. The WYAS reference for fiche for St John's marriages 1813-1814 is D53/1/46. This is a packet of 6 fiche which would cost £7.20 to purchase. Best wishes, Lesley
Thanks for this. Rather than purchase the fiche, I will order the film together with the Hartshead ones from my local LDS. Thanks again for your help.
