Manchester lookup on Ancestry

Could somebody please do a lookup for me on Ancestry as according to Manchester archives Ancestry has all of the BMD records.

WILLIAM CRIMES to MARY ANN FLAHERTY
17 AUGUST 1836

Cathedral, Manchester

In FMP all that shows up for these names is a marriage transcript from Family Search with the above bare details. I am hopefully looking for Mary's father to be called James FLAHERTY and William's father would be a bonus but I can't remember how much detail is on marriages in this year.

Unfortunately as the marriage took place prior to the beginning of Civil Registration in 1837 you won't get the father's names on the certificate. Here is the entry, the two witnesses may be their fathers but it's impossible to be 100% certain.

Wow Mary that is amazing!!! Was this from Ancestry? Oh how I wish I could afford to buy subs for all the sites. :roll:

Mary Ann had a brother called Robert and with the census entry that Bertie found, he is living in the same street with his own family so I think I'm on track.
