Marriage lookup request - SKEET - BANE
« on: Saturday 30 July 16 11:45 BST (UK) »
From FreeBMD, Robert SKEET (SKEAT) married Lucy BANE, Sept q 1849, Fleggs RD, Norfolk, but I cannot locate the parish, despite scouring FindMypast's & Familysearch's Norfolk registers

If anyone could help locate the parish for this marriage, I would be most grateful. Thanks.

Yes - I'll write to the Norfolk RO - Marsham marriage registers don't seem to be online anywhere, unfortunately.
Robert & Sarah (Dove) Skeet are my ancestors.  Sarah died, and Robert seems to have engaged in some matrimonial cradle-snatching - he was 65 & Lucy was 22.  In his will, he was extremely generous to her, even assuming that she would remarry (which she did 10 years later).

Thx
