Hi Lorraine, Sorry - plenty of James Goble's but not the one you're looking for. My CD only goes up to 1837. Perhaps they got married ca.1850 if there first child was born in 1851?? All the Best Ali

Hi Alison Thanks for the lookup have sent you a PM to say thanks for your time. Kind regards Trudi

Hello Alison Could you please have a look for a marriage for me? The Husband is Joseph Obard (could be spelt Obbard) the wife is Mary ? the marriage would have taken place some time between 1775 and 1785 (unless of course they married after the birth of their first child...) the area would probably be around East Grinstead. Sorry I can't be more specific. I would also be interested to know how many other Obbard or Obard marriages the CD contains.

Thank you Alison for your help on the marriage of George Coot. I have sent you an E-mail. Regards, Elizabeth

Dear Alison, Please could you have a look for me and see if you can find the marriage of Samuel Cornwell, (or Cornwall) probably at St. Nicholas' Church, Brighton just prior to 1837. The wife's name could be Jane. Many thanks, Lynne

Hi Alison Would you be able to look for the marriage of George Phillips and Ann, circa 1790. Their first child was baptised in Horsham in July 1791, but I've already checked the Horsham registers and couldn't find their marriage there. Possibly they were from one of the nearby parishes? Also seeking the marriage of John Boyd & Jane, circa 1835. He was from Steyning, but again his marriage was not in the Steyning register. Any help much appreciated, Richard in Australia.
