Have been fighting a brick wall for ages with my Essex Marriage line.
Try putting 'Marriage' into a search engine.
A recent discovery of a will, Francis Marriage 1702 shows the family were Quakers. I've never researched them before, so does anyone know how I can go about it, please?
Visit to TNA would not be easy for me.
Thanks
