    Default Pre 1837 wedding certificate

    My great great gread grandparents - William Wright and Susan Challis (or Challess) - got married on 25 FEB 1836 in Weeting, Norfolk.

    How does one go about getting a copy of the wedding certificate or entry information?

    Many thanks

    Family Search has the images of many of the Bishops Transcripts for Norfolk. However, they are not searchable by name so you would need to find the images for 1836 and then go through them until you reach the required date.

    You can browse the images from here

    When you follow the above link and click on Norfolk you will be offered the choice of the archdeaconry of Norfolk or the archdeaconery of Norwich. Not being familiar with Norfolk I have looked on Genuki and it would appear that Weeting is in the archdeaconry of Norfolk.

    Because your query is quite specific I do think it might be better in the Norfolk forum. If you would like it moved please let me know and I'll shift it over.

    However the parish of Weeting with Broomhill does not seem to be included. There is no Batch number with the record at Family Search so I suspect this may have been a submitted entry and the only way to get a copy of the original register is from the Norfolk Record Office.
    The records as mentioned above are the Bishops Transcripts, not the Parish Registers themselves, which for much of Norfolk are available.

    from the Bishops Transcripts - Norfolk - Image 163 in the t-y section of 1836 is the one you want!

    Superfluous post, due to lesleys finding the entry.
