Dover Parish Records - Durand
« on: Wednesday 13 July 05 12:52 BST (UK) »
I am looking for some details about James Durand, who was born c1753 in Dover.  He married Ann Shepherd on 25-10-1790 in Westerham (I believe his name may have been spelt Durrant)
Does anyone have access to parish records which could help?  I'm wondering whether the record of his marriage may have witnesses which could help. 
Also, any baptism records would then give me his parents details.
I'm afraid this is a bit of a long shot here, but any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi

The baptism records for the two main parishes in Dover (St Mary & St James) are on the IGI http://www.familysearch.org

Hi Audrey
Thanks for the info - not sure whether this is the same person, but will certainly look into it.

Hi Casalguidi
I have already found the details on the family search site, but they do not have the baptism I'm looking for.  I'm hoping the actual parish records may have details of witnesses etc to the marriage, to give me a clue where to go next.
