Philips marriage

[ral91]

Hello, I would appreciate some help looking for a marriage between John Philips and wife Mary. I have no maiden name.

It is likely the marriage took place at St James Clerkenwell, London about 1760. Their first child was born 1762, and all were baptised at St James.

Hi,

Nothing has come up for the marriage on the site I use.

Hi Julie,

Yes, that's the problem - I can't find anything either. Proving elusive. Thanks anyway.

I've got the same problem with one of mine, baptised St James Clerkenwell, no sign of parents marriage. So they may have married outside the area.

I've searched a few surrounding churches. Fortunately, in my case, John's son remarried in the 1850s and listed John's occupation - a jeweller. I've heard there were certain districts that had jewellers working there, so might give that a try.
