Hi Steve:

Welcome to the forum. And thanks for the post.  As I noted on the previous page of this thread, I have not been able to find any link between your Smith Hemmings line and my family line.  I will be sure to let you know if I do come across anything.

Best regards, rthom

After many years of searching, I have finally come across a lead (Find My Past, citing the Society of Genealogists) for the marriage of my 6x great-grandparents Edward Sargeant and Elizabeth Hill. The information provided is:

License date: 29 Nov 1721
Groom: Edw'd SARGEANT
Bride: Elizabeth HILL

Unfortunately there is no other information provided, such as the location or parish.  The only other clue I have is that Edward and Elizabeth baptized their son Thomas Hill Sargent, Jan 18, 1723, in Twickenham, Middx.  They also had a second son, Edward, my 5x great-grandfather, around the same time, but his baptism has not yet come to light.

There are several variants for the SARGEANT name including: Sergeant, Sargent, Sergent, Serjeant, Sarjeant, etc.

I would greatly appreciate any help that could be provided by the experts on the board to locate the parish for the marriage.  And, of course, if any of this rings a bell with anyone reading this post, I would love to hear from you to compare notes.

Many thanks in anticipation,

rthom

Hi Billy:

Many thanks for this info.  It came as a surprise to find William all the way up in Scotland.  But perhaps the printing trade provided opportunities for travel -- and evidently your Fleming family had links to London.  Did your Flemings come from London before 1851? Or where they from Scotland?

Regards,
