Can someone remind me please what information is recorded in parish registers for 1828 - would the bride's parents be named for instance? This is the only way I can think of to ensure I've got the right person. |

The brideĀ“s parents would probably not be shown. Depends on how enthusiastic the vicar was, but generally speaking, No. |

Thank you. The marriage record isn't going to confirm her parentage then:( |

They used a standardised form for BMDs in the parish records from about 1809 onwards. Before that date you might find all sorts of info - depending, as wisechild said, on the vicar at the time. |

I think Kay is refering to the 1812 'Roses' Act that required baptisms to show a father's quality, trade or profession. Marriages until 1837 did not require a father's name and occupation. |
