My great grandparents Susannah Marston and Thomas Smith were married July1867 at St Thomas Church, Dudley. I only have those details but am wondering if anyone has access to the Parish Registers and they have time if they could check this entry and see if any other details are available. I believe his father was William Smith but no idea about his mother. Also I have no idea where William or Thomas were born although I know Susannah Marston was born in Cleo Mortimer.
I am a newbie, so if I am asking for too much then I apologise.

Re: Marston and Smith married in Dudley
Thank you Jimmy for you responses. Much appreciated. I wonder if you would know where a copy of the original marriage record could be obtained from. I had no luck with a google search and although I checked the GRO they don't do marriages. Thank you.
