G'day John Paul. Who're you looking for? I have the Archive CD Books Suffolk
Marriage Licenses 1684 - 1839. That is a likely place for an Essex licence
to have been recorded. I also have ACDB's Canterbury 1660 - 1694, Canterbury
Faculty Office 1543 - 1869 and London 1521 - 1869 Marriage Licences CD's.
All of these books include entries from all over the country.
As for being worth pursuing, yes indeed. They quite often contain more
information than is found on a Parish Register.

My research is greatly assisted by books
