It used to be the case that we could only call your Banns (and conduct the wedding) if one or both of a couple were genuinely resident in the Ledbury Ministry area. If this was not the case, we could still conduct the wedding, but you needed to attend Church regularly for six months to come onto our Electoral Roll (membership list). Now, new Marriage Laws allow us to call your Banns in a range of different extra circumstances, if you have a genuine qualifying connection with a parish in our area. (If you don’t have such a qualifying connection, we may still be able to use the Electoral Roll route, so don’t worry.) Please complete the form below, to indicate whether or not either of you may have one of the seven qualifying connections. If we ask you to give us evidence of the connection, please send it with the form if at all possible. The minister assigned to your wedding will discuss this with you. When were you baptised?
