I just came across a website called Sue Brown's Derbyshire Marriage Index 1538-1837 at http://www.derbyshiremarriageindex.co.uk which purports to offer look ups of marriages at various parishes in Derbyshire.
This would be of great interest for me for one, however, the contact form page says "Please complete this form to send us an email with marriages that you would like researched from this index ", but there is no form and I don't see any email address anywhere.
Does anyone know anything about this?

http://www.uk-genealogy.org.uk/england/Derbyshire/index.html
Scroll down page for list of towns, click on town if there is a Phillimore transcript
available it appears in blue as a sub heading.
Hope this is of some help.
Spendlove.

Dear spendlove and Newf,
Thank you very much for your replies. As regards, the website indicated, i.e. http://www.uk-genealogy.org.uk/england/Derbyshire/index.html, there only apear to be census returns for the places I am particularly interested in (Lullington and Coton-in-the Elms). It looks like I cannot avoid a trip to the Derbyshire records office, unless they offer lookups!
Alan

Thanks Sylvia(?) for this information.
I'm afraid http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/terrace/pd65/dby/kelly/cotonintheelms.htm is not the right period and I can't access http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sherwoodoutlaw/derbyshiremarriageindex.htm.
I have an ancestor, Martin Farnell born in Coton-in-the-elms abt 1750 who married Frances Mathews of Edingale, Staffordshire. She seems to have been born in 1771 and their daughter Phoebe was born about 1796, so I suppose they must have been married between about 1789 and 1796. I suppose this might have been in Lullington, since there was no church in Coton-in-the-elms in this period. I believe Martin was high sheriff of Derbyshire in 1789 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Sheriff_of_Derbyshire.)
I am still hoping to get to Matlock records office to check this out, unless of course you (or someone out there) have access to some of these records. That would be great as I'm not in England and it's hard to get there!
Alan

Hi DebbieG,
Thank you very much for this information. No, I had not seen this will, although I did recently discover another document suggesting that Martin Farnell became bankrupt in the early 1800's. It seems as though some information has come online fairly recently. This might be his will, since his daughter married Thomas Rochford from Sutton Coldfield, so he might have moved there also.
Can you tell me where you found the record for the death of Martin Farnell in Clifton Campville in 1823? Perhaps there were two Martin Farnell's? Family sources indicate that "my" Martin Farnell died around 1815, which seems to tie in with this will. I have so far found very little information on him, so it is very difficult to tell. I only know that he was some kind of squire and, therefore, assumed that it must have been him that was the high sheriff, but if there were two Martin Farnell's, that would make it more complicated.
Thank you very much for your help. I do not have the greatest experience in these matters!
Alan

Hi DebbieG,
Thanks for enlightening me. In my ignorance, I was not familiar with the National Burial index. You learn things all the time. I think I understand what you mean. Thanks again.

Many thanks to all those who helped me with this, particularly DebbieG and Spendlove.
I had previously thought that Martin Farnell Esq. from Coton-in-the-elms (abt 1750-1815), who is the object of this search, and his wife Frances Matthews had one daughter, Phoebe.
However, it appears from his will that Phoebe was Frances' daughter from a previous marriage. This is stated in one place and, in another place, he refers to Phoebe as his adopted daughter. I supposed this would mean that Matthews was probably the surname of Frances' first husband and that Phoebe was born as Phoebe Matthews. Based on this, (bingo) I found her on the IGI christened on 9 May 1796 at Lullington, Derbyshire, mother Frances Matthews.
This is probably not new to most people on Rootschat, but it shows that one has to look at all sorts of documents to find the information one is searching for.
What I'm wondering now is is whether such an adoption would have been an official thing in those days or not?
