Does anyone have access to the above records?

RICHARD MILLS and MARY ALICE CLARK were married in the September quarter 1871 at ALL SAINTS CHURCH, ELTON, BURY.

I am trying to find out the name of Richard's father, which may be shown in the parish records. He may or may not be my relative, so I don't want to go to the expense of purchasing a marriage certificate until I am sure.

Any assistance gratefully received.

Elsie

Hi Elsie

Parish records go up to 1837. Do you know the father's name for your Richard?
If you stipulate the father's name and its not the right certificate they wont send it and only charge a small admin fee
