APPLICATION

[DDRAIG]

Would  SKP tell me where I would have to apply for a copy of a marriage that took place in St James Paddinton in 1836.

It will be parish records. (pre-civil registration)
LDS centres could probably order in the film.

Hello Pauline
Thanks for the info, but what I wish is a hard copy of he info, any ideas,

Ddraig

[PaulineJ]

can they print it off from the film you order?

Hi ddraig

As Pauline suggests, ordering a copy of the film at your nearest LDS centre would most probably be easiest.

The other alternatives are

1. Contact the London Metropolitan Archives where the actual registers have been deposited. According to their price list a copy will cost you £8.31

2. Contact the City of Westminster Archives where a copies of the films are also available. They will charge you £4 for a copy

3. Alternatively, if you can supply me with the names and actual date I can make a transcription for you on one of my future visits, but please note that the Archives is just about to close for at least 2 weeks for refurbishment.

Hello Dawn,

your reply was very much appreciated, I do not wish to put you to any inconvenience regarding your offer to make a transcription for me the next time that you make a visit to the Archives Office but if it would be possible it would be very much appreciated.
Now the details that I have is marriage for

Charles Ward and Isabella Janet Cheston
Saint James Paddington 1836
I do not know if this is sufficient information or whether you would rather me apply to make a search if so may I say once again many thanks for your offer and help...........

I've printed off your request and put it in my 'to do' file.

I'll let you have a transcription as soon as I can get back to the archives when they reopen after their refurbishment.

Regards

Before I post the details of your look-up, I must say that this marriage is recorded in the register for 'The Parish of Paddington', un-named. St James, Sussex Gardens, wasn't built until 1843, previous to that the parish church was St Mary's on Paddington Green.  The LMA and Westminster Archives use the name St James because when the two churches merged into the one parish in 1843, St James was where all the older registers were sent to and have been catalogued as that.

The marriage is also indexed on the IGI at www.familysearch.org

From the marriage register, Parish of Paddington

Charles Ward of this parish bachelor
and Isabella Janet Cheston of thsi parish spinster

Isabel Jennet Cheston (signed her name, note the spelling)

Hope this helps
