possible marriage look up please
« on: Wednesday 21 October 09 15:39 UTC (UK) »

hi all

The more I do the less I find!

Caroline Harris b.c1821 poss. Urdmore? 

Had a son George Griggs b. 1839.. [could he have been a twin? Ann Eliza Griggs b. same time, died September 1843 Hastings 7/233]

Cannot find a marriage Harris-Griggs on BMD, presume it would be pre 1838. Would appreciate a look up.

Have found a death for a William John Alderson Griggs - March 1842 Hastings reg: 7/276 - don't know if this is relevant as ages weren't put on register at that time.

In November 1842 [bit soon methinks] married John Enefer [yes them again].  Name given at marriage Caroline Griggs. 


She married again in 1847 [after Johns death] a William Barton. Name given as Caroline Harris.  Is that legal?

any help appreciated

Thanks Gaie

Its the right family, certainly proves the twin theory, but unfortunately doesn't help with a marriage date, although it looks more like its true.

I was beginning to think they were telling porkies.  My lot certainly seem to have had their fair share of unaccountable 'neices/nephews'

Ah well such is life!!

Hi omega

A big thank you

By the way what is the SMI and for that matter the FMP.

Sorry to appear so thick but I haven't got a clue what these anacronyms stand for or where to look for them.

Hi Corndolly

Your not thick,we are all learning all the time.

The SMI,is the Sussex Marriage Index,which i have on a disc.i purchased it when i belonged to a Family History Society .Its largely Pre 1837 But sometimes,if your lucky,some go up to 1840.

FMP,is findmypast,a subscription site which has the Census & other stuff.

Hope this helps
