Marriage Banns (General)

In the Parish Records Richard HADDOCK of the parish of Ruardean married Margaret NURSE on the 30 July 1780 in the Parish/Chapel English Bicknor. The entry states the Banns are on Page 80 (date of Banns 1780 Jun 18 25 Ju). I would like to obtain a copy of these Banns - are these available on FOD site?

The dates of the bands of marriage you have and that is all there is.

Banns of marriage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banns_of_marriage

The banns of marriage, commonly known simply as "the banns", (from an Old English word meaning "to summon") are the public announcement in a parish church that a marriage is going to take place between two specified persons.

The purpose of banns is to enable anyone to raise any legal impediment to it, so as to prevent marriages that are legally invalid, either under canon law or under civil law. Impediments vary between legal jurisdictions, but would normally include a pre-existing marriage (having been neither dissolved nor annulled), a vow of celibacy, lack of consent, or the couple's being related within the prohibited degrees of kinship.

In England, under the provisions of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act, a marriage is only legally valid if the reading of the banns has taken place or a marriage licence has been obtained...

We only transcribe the Banns separately if there is no marriage in the register, otherwise the date of the Banns is added to the marriage entry together with any other additional information.
