"St Martin in the Fields" Church Register- Help
« on: Friday 29 June 07 20:39 BST (UK) »
Hi all

I am wondering if some kind soul might lend me hand who has access to and will have a look at the St Martin in the Field Church Register, from Westminster, London....?

I have a marriage from the IGI

Ann Kemp married William Atkins 18 May 1808 and while I know it won't give parent's names given the early time frame, I am hoping that a witness might be mentioned and that it might be a sibling of Ann Kemp's and that would help me to connect her back to Rye Sussex where I believe she came from.

I would so very much appreciate a hand with this as it has been a huge WALL...

Hi Dawn

Even though it has been a year and a half, yes, I never did find out who might have been a witness at their marriage.

I believe this Ann Kemp was sister of Martha Kemp-French (my 3x G Grandmother).

So yes ... I still need help

Hi Susan

I'll be at the City of Westminster Archives in March.

I'll have a look for you.

Perfect ... it would be great if the marriage entry actually told me something about Ann ...

Thanks  :-*
