Judy,

While I can see from the list that you are receiving many many many
requests from readers for lookups, I would appreciate you adding to your
list/file/pile the following:

William Harrod & Maria Bennett - According to the 1851 Census, they
lived in Northwold, Norfolk. I assume that this would be the location
of their license if there was one.

Thanks in advance for your assitance.
