And if the marriage doesn't show up on Cheshire BMD, it's possible
that it took place in one of the following three churches, on the
other side of the border, that were in Great Boughton district until
1871 :-)

Hawarden, St. Deiniol (from 1837)
Broughton, St. Mary (from 1841)
Sealand, St. Bartholomew (from 1868)

These marriage registers are in:

Flintshire East Register Office,
The Old Rectory,
Hawarden,
Flintshire
CH5 3NR

Tel: 01244 531512.
