In my tree there is perhaps a vague tendancy for the marriage to take place in the bride's home parish, but that's about it! The posher they are, the more commonplace it seems to be........ But all just a generalisation. Merry

You can't tell anything from where a wedding took place. It could be the groom's home parish or the bride's home parish, or just somewhere convenient. My ancestors tended to marry where they were working at the time - it could be their home village but only if they hadn't moved away. nell

Unless the marriage was by licence, at least one partner would have been living in the parish. This does not, however, mean that they were born there.

I think ''always'' is a bit definite - ''usually'' is more like. The trouble with London weddings is that sometimes London was a good place to get married if you wanted to be where you weren't known for one reason or another! - like ''age'' (too young to get married without parental consent) and ''previous marriages'' (not dissolved by death or law).

Is it true that the man always married in the district of where the girl lived? this is important as I have the said wife Alice Carrington and on cenus it said 'NK' where she was born, so I have found a marriage for her in Lambeth and I know for sure the Hubby was from good old Romford. so does this mean she was from Lambeth? Happy Easter everyone janey
