I've come across this on FMP -

Year of Marriage: 1702
Last Name: Crosly
First Name: Josiah
Supplied First Name: Josiah
Spouse's Last Name: Palmer
Spouse's First Name: Marth
Spouse's Supplied First Name: Marth
Place: Vicar General Marriage Licences
Record source: Boyd's 1st Misc Series 1538-1775
Data provider: Society of Genealogists

Do I have to go to the SoG in Clerkenwell or is there another way of getting hold of it and what information is it likely to give? I don't know if I've ever had a Vicar General licence before :s

The SoG only have the index, but this page has information about the original documents:

Ah thanks for finding that. That's a pain then.

Thank you Chris - I'm hoping to find something out about the bride's family - I suspect she was about 16 so there might be. Looking around, if I understand it right, I can order a copy of the film at an LDS centre.
