please could someone look up the following for me.
1. Marriage of William Waller to Sarah Setford. 17th February 1824 in Barcombe Sussex. If possible I would like to know name of Parents of this couple.
2. 1841 Census.
William & Sarah Waller
Children: Barbara born abt 1824
Elizabeth born abt 1826
Sarah born about 1831
William Setford Waller born abt 1834.
I assume there were more children inbetween the eldest and youngest. I also assume as they were born in Ditchling, that is where they were living in 1841.
Thes are all ancesters of my husbands gt grandmother Barbara Waller born 1824
Thank you

Hi,
This is the marriage, unfortunately no parents name's which doesn't surprise me. But, as you can see, William was from Ditchling at the time, so that might help. The marriage was from Banns (B) so no further information which might have appeared with a license. You need to find William's baptism, try the IGI on family search first. Or ask for a look-up on the BVRI.

Thank you for replying so promptly. Have had no joy with baptism of William Waller, but have found Sarah Setford baptism with date of birth and her parents name. If you had not pointed me in the right direction I would still be looking.

Hi Terrijay,
Here are some possible baptisms for you from BVRI2:
William Waller bapt 5 Aug 1792 Clayton parents Thomas & Mary Waller
William Waller bapt 13 Apr 1780 Clayton, mother Anne Waller
William Waller bapt 22 Mar 1807 Clayton, parents Thomas & Mary Waller
I must stress these are only possibles. You need to look for others in Ditchling itself, which is not included on BVRI2, before you can be even half certain which lead you should follow.
Good luck
Nell
