Sussex Marriage look ups please
« on: Monday 22 November 04 23:09 GMT (UK) »
I would be most grateful for some marriage look ups for several siblings:

All born in Hailsham.  Children of Samuel and Elizabeth Miller

Ann Miller, born 31 May 1795.

John Miller born 9 July 1797

Samuel Miller born @ 1801 (not on parish records)

Mary Miller born 23 June 1805.

Thanks very much for your time everyone.

This is the only likely one for Samuel

Arlington, East Sussex,  Date: 12 Oct 1830:
Samuel MILLER m Eliza THORNCRAFT, botp (B)
 
There are 24 marriages for Mary/Mary Ann 1821-1839 (none apparently in Hailsham)
There are 12 for John 1815-1833 (none in Hailsham)
There are 27 for Ann/Hannah or combinations 1811-1839 (only 1 in Hailsham)

Unfortunately, the index doesn't always give details of parish of origin.  Are you able to narrow this down at all?

Thanks Nell, you were really prompt!

Will see what else I can think of to narrow down the search - however I am sure the Samuel Miller one is correct cos he lived in Arlington for a while.

Back after a think.

Back to the Millers after a while.

Ann Miller: can't find out any more about her but could you give me the 1 Ann Miller marriage in Hailsham.

John Miller: ended up later in Lewes so could have married there or thereabouts (his brother married in South Malling and JOhn was the witness)

Mary Miller: this could be a Mary who lived in Ringmer in 1871 married to a Michell/Mitchell from Storrington - could you see if this matches up to any of the Marys.

Also I think there may be another brother Charles born @1808 Hailsham, he was in Westham in 1841 with a wife called Caroline.

I hope this might be a tiny bit more helpful, thanks a lot.

Hi Alison,

This is not a perfect look-up I'm afraid - still too many potential "spanners in works".  The following may help you.  There are no Mary Millers marrying any Michell/Mitchell but you need to remember that the index only goes up to 1837 (1839 for a few places).  But the Charles looks a reasonable bet.

John MILLER m Ann ELLIS, botp (B)
Lewes St. John sub Castro, East Sussex, 13 Feb 1825:

John MILLAR, Maresfield m Lucy WILMSHURST
Buxted, East Sussex, 22 Jul 1822
 
John MILLER, bach m Mary ATTREE, sp botp (B)
Brighton, East Sussex, 12 Jul 1819
 
John MILLER m Elizabeth REED, botp
Maresfield, East Sussex, 7 Feb 1829

Charles MILLER m Caroline WENHAM
Westmeston, East Sussex, 20 May 1832

Good luck

Nell

Hi Nell

Thanks a lot for your help, any little titbits help, narrows down the fiches to search through at the record office!

I think Charles looks good as you say, also I think John in Lewes also looks good.

Kind regards
Alison
