Could someone confirm for me a marriage for Benjamin Wood & Martha Craven in Yorkshire 1734 some one I'm in touch with thinks he's from Bardsey

On Ancestry it has they were married in Bardsey but looking at the marriage I think Benjamin was from Barwick and Martha was from Bardsey

it reads Benjamin Wood of -- Parish of Barwick

Am I right Please

Yes, it says 'Parish of Barwick'

But that only means he was resident there at the time of his marriage

He could have been born anywhere...............
