Sussex Lookup Requests / William Dolling (Dowling) marriage to Frances (Fanny) Wares
« on: Saturday 28 October 17 14:55 BST (UK)  »
From Find My Past (and FamilySearch) I have found the following marriage of William Doling to Frances Wares, 8 Nov 1808 in Mid Lavant, Sussex, Eng (England Marriages 1538-1973) (no image available).   I have found a 1851 census HO107/1652, of a William Dowling 68, Farm Labourer born Kings Sombourne, Hampshire and Fanny 64, born E Lavant in Sussex, living in Mid Lavant which is the area of the descendants I am researching came from.   The nearest birth record for William Dolling (Dowling) I can find is a 13 Jul 1783, Baptism record at Goodworth Clatford, Hampshire.  Looking up both areas I note they are only 8.6 miles apart but fall in different poor union areas.  The father and mother for this William is Moses Dowling and Ann (nee Bennett).  I am trying to establish that this William is the one and same.  Has anyone got access to the Sussex Marriage Parish Records to confirm the father details, abode and witnesses of the bride and groom which might help to confirm one way or another?  Many thanks in advance.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Copies of Hampshire Parish Records
« on: Friday 27 October 17 11:38 BST (UK)  »
Thanks to Roots Chat (Cidardrinker) I have been able to confirm a marriage in St Marys, Portsea.  I would now like to obtain either an electronic or hard copy of the event.  I have been on the Hampshire Archive website but can't see anywhere to request copies or even leave a query.  Can anyone help me as I do not live local to this area.  Many thanks.

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / William Dowling 1811/1816-1850 Marriage to Charlotte ?
« on: Monday 23 October 17 10:14 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the marriage parish record between a William Dowling and Charlotte Boxall(?) in 1837.  I believe that William Dowling (Dolling) was born in 1811 in Mid Lavant, although the 1841 census HO107/1104/7/3/Pg1 cites him born in 1816 in Sussex.  His wife Charlotte in the 1841 census is 25, so again her birth year is approximately 1816.  In the 1851 census (HO107/1652), Charlotte is a widow living at New Buildings, East Lavant, Westhampnett, Sussex with sons William 12, Edmund 10, John 8 and Elin 4.  Charlotte is cited to have been born in Singleton (1814), Sussex - which is roughly only 2-3 miles from East Lavant.  I can find no marriage on Family Search for a William Dowling (or variation) to a Charlotte in Sussex.  Other trees on Ancestry have quoted Charlotte's maiden name as Boxall together with a marriage in Portsea, Hampshire to a William Dowling on 13 Nov 1837.  Why would they have married in another county?  Is this the right William and Charlotte?  Any information on the Parish Marriage Record as quoted would be very much appreciated.  :)  Many thanks for any help.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Eva Jane Spratt 1877-1930 Lookup Request
« on: Sunday 09 November 14 15:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Everyone
I am currently researching Eva Jane Spratt who married my Great Grand Uncle, Alexander Houston and later married his brother Daniel Houston after Alex had died.  According to the Census Eva was born in St Helier and in 1881 was living at Somerset Cottage, Providence Street, St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands.  In 1891 and 1901 she was living at 7 Providence Street, St Heliers, Jersey, Channel Islands.  In the 1901 census she has two children, Charles and Eva.  Other family tree research indicate these children were fathered by a Walter Mullet serving at Fort Regent Barracks.  I am looking for confirmation of this fact and if Eva ever married Walter.  Any help would be much appreciated.
