Wondering if anyone could please help me with the Marriage of James Hills and Sarah Brooks who I know was married in 1870 in Essex. Cannot find the parish they were married in. There daughter Elizabeth Hills was babtised in Sible Hedingham on the 11th of June 1786. I have a subscription for Seax and have searched around that area but cannot find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry got the marriage year wrong. I meant 1780.

Are you certain of Sarah's surname? Have found this one:
James Hills & Sarah Barker m. 15 Aug 1784, Sible Hedingham (Witnesses John Dains & Ann Barker)

I can see the marriage you are referring to on familysearch but nowhere else. However Boyds Marriage Index has a James Hills marrying a Sarah Barker in 1784 in Sible Hedingham, whilst FreeReg has his name as James Halls and familysearch and the Essex Marriage Index give it as Hillos.
In the FreeReg entry the notes say SEAX D-P 93-1-6 if that means anything.

Thanks everyone I will look into that, cannot understand how i missed that. Just got it into my head it was Sarah Brooks off the Family Search and thought I had cracked it but i missed that. Thanks again.

John Daines was a witness to numerous marriages so probably not related.
In the FreeReg entry the notes say SEAX D-P 93-1-6 if that means anything.
The SEAX reference is the Essex Archives reference (https://secureweb1.essexcc.gov.uk/SeaxPAM/Result_Details.aspx?ID=37478).
