St Mary Magdalene Richmond Marriage Rachel Cressall-John Lee 1819

[porcelayne ladye]

Hello,
I am wondering if someone could kindly lookup the Marriage for RACHEL CRESSALL to JOHN LEE at St Mary Magdalene Church Richmond. 9 May 1819.
I am wanting to clarify this is the right couple I am looking for as I was surprised to find it so far from where John was previously  living - Worcester.
I know from Census Rachel born Whitechapel and with such an unusual name for her I would like to clarify correct marriage.
Also would like to know if was by Licence or Banns. Do Licences for St Mary Magdalene Richmond survive?  Some Counties seem better than others.
Thanking you in advance for any light you can throw on this Marriage for me.

Yours sincerely

The marriage is for James Lee and Rachel Cressall

9 May 1819 James Lee bach of St Nicholas Worcester m Rachel Cressall spinster otp by Licence, Richmond, Surrey.

Licences for the Archdeaconry of Surrey are at London Metropolitan Archives but many are apparently unfit for production.

Hello Little Nell

Thank you very much for the very quick response to my posting yesterday.
Apologies Yes should have been JAMES not John had been working on both John - his father and JAMES.

James was born and grew up in Worcester city.  Could not understand why no Marriage ever found there for him.

After obtaining Rachel's father's Will (1821 he died Nottingham Place Commercial Road Whitechapel -  Undertaker)  He must have been quite successfull with what he left his daughter Rachel and her husband Mr Lee (No forename given for him).  He had been in business in Whitechapel since pre 1790.

Rachel at time of Marriage Spinster of this parish RICHMOND.  She would have been around 25.
Her Father's house in whitechapel was copyhold.  Maybe other family  members living in Richmond. Too early for Directories to check.

I omitted to ask for details of WITNESSES at their Marriage  to see if they were CRESSALL's  LEE's or 0ther. Would it be possible to let me know this information too.

0nce again thank you for your reply,

Yours very sincerely,

Really sorry, I can't help you on the witnesses - I checked the Marriage index rather than the actual register.

Cressall & Bradley, undertakers are listed at 5 Whitechapel Road in 1841 Directory.

Yours sincerely,

Hi

Just doing some housekeeping on the Surrey boards and going through the oldest posts. Now there are further resources available it gives a chance for old posts to be looked at again to see if the information can be found or the chance for posters to say whether this information has been answered and this topic can be completed. If it can be completed please put completed into the title of this topic and it can be moved to Surrey completed (it is never lost off Rootschat) giving more space for other topics to be looked at again by all of us to see if we can help. If you are still looking for the information perhaps you can now add further details to help others search again for you.


Regards

Hi Porcelayne Ladye - I know your post is several years old, but I just came across it while searching for the Cressall family of London.  I may be descended from John Cressall and his first wife, Jane Knight.  They had a daughter, Sarah Knight Cressall, who married Jonathan Barker in 1800.  They had a son, also named Jonathan, born in 1810.  He could be the same Jonathan Barker who settled in the US by the 1830's.  He is my 3rd great grandfather.

I was wondering if you might have found additional information about the family since your last post here.  I am especially looking for information that could tie my ancestor with this family, but I would also be interested in any additional information about the family.

Thank you,
John
