Sorry but I dont think the banns will give any further info...

On 30 June 1837, two Acts of Parliament became law: the Marriage Act 1836, and the Registration Act 1836 (6&7 Will. 4 c86). By these two Acts, covering Births, Deaths and Marriages, the Guardians were directed to provide a register office and to appoint Registrars of Births and Deaths. The Marriage Act provided the opportunity, for the very first time, of marrying with a civil ceremony

From 1st July 1837, births and deaths were meant to be registered in the area or district in which they took place, in addition to being recorded at the church if a baptism or burial was performed there. Sometimes the event was registered in a neighbouring district.
