Hi angelhaus

I can only do the Findon look-up. Although I will check for Brighton as I know there are some East Sussex transcripts.

Sorry I can't deal with making copies so I guess it would mean ordering the film or contacting the West Sussex RO direct although they seem pretty pricey

I agree it is lovely to see the original especially a marriage where you see signature/marks, quite moving.

Hi Penny

Sorry I was unable to help with your look-up as Wivelsfield turns out to be mostly in East Sussex.

Thanks Jan

Very useful information there, next stop Hurstpierpoint.

Interesting about that extracted marriage from IGI not being there, I always did think I trusted the SMI more than the IGI 

Thanks again, now I've got more research to do

Hi angelhaus

I'm afraid my geography went haywire and I thought Hurstpierpoint was East Sussex Have put Jane Stevens forward for next time I go.

Weirdly the Findon marriage wasn't there. The fiche had one 18 Feb 1811 but the one before it was Nov 1810 - very strange  Not so strange really considering you said 20 August  OK senior moment copying date from the Brighton marriage - have put that over for next month too.

No transcripts for Brighton I'm afraid.

Sorry for my muddlement

Jan
