Looks up available for Pre 1837 marriages.

Please read this carefully before posting a request. I have the pre 1837 rural Surrey marriage index if anyone needs lookups. Here's a description of what areas are covered: 'More than 162,100 marriages in mainly rural Surrey. However, included are: over 1,100 marriages in Battersea (1802-1837); over 10,000 in Bermondsey; over 5,500 in Camberwell; over 1,500 in Lambeth (1718-1724) and over 3000 in Southwark St Saviour (1605-1625). There are no marriages for Newington, Rotherhithe, Streatham or Wandsworth' Please bear in mind that I cannot copy & paste any information from these resources, I will have to type up any information you need, therefore no blanket searches please, unless it’s an unusual name. If possible please list: 1) First name 2) Rough decades 3) Parish No emails please! Crista

Hi Crista Would you be able to check for the marriage of George Richards to Eleanor, Battersea, c1820's. Also I have the following two marriages from the IGI. If they are listed in your resource, I would be interested to see if there is any more info than is given on the IGI (which isn't much!). In any case, it would be good to confirm them from another source: Charles Manning & Sarah Smith, 28-Feb-1824 Carshalton Charles Manning & Sarah Phipps, 21-Jul-1828, Carshalton Many thanks, Richard

Hi Richard, There's this: Battersea George Richards to Ellen Wright 14/01/1827. Both were of the parish, or OTP. Found the other 2 marriages you listed. The only other information was that they were both banns and OTP. Crista

Hi Crista Many thanks for that. The George Richards marriage certainly looks as though it could be the one that I'm looking for, as their 1st child was christened 18-Nov-1827, so the date ties in. Does your list give the church that they married, or any other source info? I would love to track down the original record if possible, as I couldn't find this marriage in the parish register. Regards, Richard

Hi Richard, That's all there is I'm afraid. Crista

Hi Sam, I have a William Whiting to Mary Ann Cheasman 25/03/1819 in Horley. Both are OTP Crista

Hi Caitlin, The index is pre 1837 so those years aren't covered. Crista

Hi Crista, I am looking for the marriage of John Wyeth to Elizabeth Owen. There first child was born in 1805 so I would hope they were married some time before then. I have no idea of where they married but they were living in Clapham when there first child was born in 1805. I believe Clapham was in Surrey in those days but I guess they could have married anywhere in London or Surrey. Thanks for any help. Nigel

Hi Crista Could you look for me please. William Lee m Mary Ann ? Saint john the Baptist Croydon c1820s. many thanks Julie

Hi Crista I'm looking for the marriage of a Gainor Ward of Henfield Sussex to a William Cheer of Shepperton Surrey. It will be about 1830 -36. Have hit a brick wall with this one. Thanks Joan

Hi Crista, Thank you for your generous offer. I would be very grateful if you could have a look for the marriage of John Chapman to Susanna ... between 1740 and 1755, probably near the Middlesex border around Shepperton and Egham. Jeff Martin

Hi Nigel, Eunice, Julie and Joan Nothing I'm afraid. Crista

Hi Jeffrey, This is all I could find: John Chapman to Susanna Smock 26/01/1804 Bermondsey Crista

Hi Lindy, Nothing for you I'm afraid. Crista

Hi Evie, Bermondsey Roman Catholic Timothy Mcdermott to Catherine Haydon 22/06/1834 There's also this just in case it's an earlier marriage for him. Timothy MacDesmond to Elizabeth Hearn 10/01/1822 Crista

Hi Crista Thank you for looking. Julie :-)

Hi Crista, Thanks for checking. Nigel

Hi Crista, thanks for the offer! I don't suppose you have a David Arthur marrying anywhere between 1810 and 1840? Thanks again.

Crista Can you look for the marriage of James WRIGHT and Phillis or Phyllis. Their first child was born in Epsom, Surrey in 1787 Thanks Margaret
