Hi guys,
I'm off to Chichester RO tomorrow and I am willing to do look ups for anyone as long as there is sufficient info to work with as my time will be limited.
I already have a couple of RC requests but should have time for a few more. Get your request in by 9am Friday (BST) as I will not check the pc after then! :)
Best Wishes
Legs

EDIT - providing the weather isn't too bad this week I will be going to Chichester RO on Wed or Thurs!

Hi Legs
That's a very kind offer ;D I have quick request, would you mind checking the parish register for Twineham for a Jane Lewry born 1788. I have tried various parishes around and come up with nothing so far and Twineham is another one to tick off the list.
Possible parents John and Sarah married at Twineham in 1785.
I would be very grateful if you could have a quick look.
thank you

Hi Legs,
What a generous offer!
I'd be really grateful for as much info as possible on a marriage at Goring, 12 December 1842 - ages, parents, witnesses, occupations, whether signed or made mark, etc. Bride: Frances Keeping; Groom: George Field. I'd also be interested in how the bride's surname is spelled - it may be "Kipping".
The fiche reference is Par 92 / 1 / 3 / 1 or 2. (Sorry there are two reference numbers, but the date ranges in the index overlap - and the overlap covers the date of the marriage!)
Thanks in advance,
Stovepipe

Hi Legs,
You are most kind :D
From the IGI:
Richard REFFELL married Mary LASHLEY on 4 May 1795 at St Peter Chichester.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could check these details and who the witnesses were. There may also be a comment as to it being her second marriage as well. Her previous husband was George LASHLEY (sometimes spelt LESHLEY) who was 'press ganged' and is rumoured to have died at sea.
Once again many thanks - John

Just to let you know I received a PM over the weekend from another Rootschatter with baptism for a Jenny Leury 1788 in Slaugham. This is in probabilty my Jane Lewry. The age fits and place of birth and I am convinced these are the right parents. So thanks for your offer but you can cross mine off you list.
Kerry ;D

Thank you for letting me know Kerry, all being well I'm off to Chichester RO on Wednesday or Thursday so I will endeavour to find some info for you Stovepipe and John!

I've PM'd you.

Legs,
You are a star :D
I am very grateful for your help and assistance. As I mentioned that is a long running 'tradition' in this family of spelling their surname either Lashley or Leshley at random!
Kind regards - John
