St Nicholas Brighton look-up request
« on: Sunday 08 May 16 16:52 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Does anyone have access to fiche or digital images of marriages for St Nicholas, Brighton? I'm looking for one which took place in June 1837.

The marriage has been transcribed by Family Search, but only the names of the bride and groom. For the purposes of a book I'm writing, I'm interested in the names of the witnesses. I haven't a clue where the original register is (I'm trying to look on The Keep website but it's confusing), and I'm not sure where to look (I do have some ancestors from Shoreham but I've never got to grips with Sussex records adequately to research them).

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Helen.

Thanks for pointing that out - unfortunately it doesn't give the witnesses names either!

Thanks for the suggestion!

In the end, I emailed The Keep, and they've helped me out with the info I needed.

But I am really grateful to everyone for pitching in to help. :)
