Repeating Chris's hit with the ref:
Groom Surname Groom Forename Bride Surname Bride Forename District Parish Building Year Register Entry
WINTERS Samuel BIRD Ann Cheltenham Tewkesbury St Mary (The Abbey) 1837 1 1

The entry # is really useful if you have access to the parish register.


Here's the URL for the 1848 edition of Lewis mentioned by Ann:
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/source.aspx?pubid=445

BECKFORD (St. John the Baptist), a parish, in the union of Winchcomb, partly in the hundred of Tibaldstone, and partly in the Upper division of the hundred of Tewkesbury, E. division of the county of Gloucester, 6 miles (E. N. E.) from Tewkesbury...

It's useful to know which poor law union covered Beckford. This would be the registration district which covered Beckford too.
