William Doyle & Martha Reay's 1825 Marriage Record: I Had Hoped for More

William Doyle and Martha Reay are my third great-grandparents.  I hope it doesn't sound greedy that I wanted more information from this marriage record.  I'm grateful to have found this much but I had hoped that the names of the bride's and groom's parents would have been recorded.  Their birth dates would have been good, too.  Other than family information this is my only information about William Doyle and my only document for him.  But I'll be happy for what I find and keep searching for more.

What this image doesn't tell you is that this marriage was performed in St. Peter's Church in Wallsend, Northumberland.  May 3, 1825, was a Tuesday.

The image comes from St. Peter's Church register, Marriages, 1813-1830.  This record was found on digitized, online images of FHL Microfilm #993,567, available at my local Family History Center.

See images and history of St. Peter's Church at Wikipedia.

 Onward to continue my search for William Doyle in other records.
