I have Ellis Powell Jones marrying Hilday Carr on 1st April 1836 in Manchester Cathedral. Ellis was a widower and Hilday was a widow. Both of the parish.
I'm not sure what marriage by Licence rather than Banns might have meant.
And, Family Search has a record of a newspaper article under Family Notices referring to the marriage (a day or two after the marriage) but I can't see the actual article without going to one of their centres. What sort of information would I get from the newspaper 'notice' and would it be on line somewhere?

This explains it so much better than I was doing.

Thank you for the newspaper information and link to an explanation of marriage licences. My husband has just reminded me that we actually got married by Licence! My excuse is that it was a while ago and my head was befuddled by love ……………
