Is it possible for someone to look-up the Kendal Parish Records for me please.
I am trying to find a marriage between Henry Freeman (born 1791) and Mary Robinson (born 1804 or 1808). Henry was a Hatter at the time.
I'm sorry that I have no other info except that if the marriage did take place in Kendal, it would have been between 1820-1824 - a large job I know, but I would be eternally grateful for ANY help that anyone could give me.
Many thanks to all.

Hello,
I was in Kendal Records Office this morning and I started to search for your Henry Freeman in the parish registers. There didn't seem to be anything in Kendal between 1820 and 1825. In fact, no Freeman marriages at all for those years. I have only checked the main churches so is it possible that they married in,say, the Methodist Chapel or Unitarian Church?
I will try to get back and do some more searching but my visits to the RO are fairly infrequent so it might be some time before I manage it.
If you have any other information to go on, it would be useful as there are lots of possible churches in the surrounding villages.

Oh Jen,
Fantastic - how kind of you to look at those records for me.
I'm afraid it is going to be a process of elimination - Henry was married either in Birmingham or Kendal. As yet, nothing has turned up in either! I did think the chances of him marrying in Kendal were much greater but who knows.......
Anyway, thanks very much once again, and if you are able to do any more searching on my behalf I would be eternally grateful. Good luck with your own searching.
