Sandy, The following is from Radcliffe's transcription of St Chad's Parish Records: "5 December 1751 Wm. Broadbent, Castleshaw, clor., & Mary Shaw, spr.". There is also a footnote: "William Broadbent, Delph, d. 24 April 1801, aged 81 years; and Mary, his w., d. 15 Nov., 1793, in 62 yr. Buried at St. Thomas's Ch., Friarmere". Unfortunately the marriage record doesn't give a lot more information than you already have, though the information on William and Mary's deaths may be useful if you haven't already got it. I'm not sure if the original record would have any more information, but I suspect not as they didn't in those days. I don't know how familiar you are with parish records, but if you want any help with the abbreviations I'd be happy to help.

The marriage is between William Broadbent and Mary Shaw 5 Dec 1751. Thank you in anticipation Regards Sandy Australia
