IVEY Family of Farnham -- Marriage lookup please - COMPLETE

[rthom]

Sometimes that pays off, I know.   

The Ivey name appears to be very common on Cornwall, which might explain why it is showing up in the counties of southern England.

I have given the marriage lookup another shot on the Berkshire board:

rthom, I was thinking this through.  I had an ancestor who was a fairly well-to-do in Dorking, a Surrey man through & through.  Could I find his marriage?  No!  By chance I browsed through the Marriage Allegations on British Origins & found a likely candidate on their index.  On my next trip to the UK I went to the SOG in London to look at the image & it was him.  He had married in Lambeth!
As your man seems to come from a similar background it might be worth looking for a licence on Origins.  It's pay-per-view to view the image but worth it,

Thanks for the idea, Jane. I will check it out. I realize that it was customary for marriages to occur in the home parish of the bride.  So if Sarah's family came from further afield that would explain the puzzle.

There are 5 entries for the name George IVEY on the Origins marriage records, which includes marriage allegations, so might be worth forking out 
Other reasons for marrying outside their parishes are, they wanted to marry away from prying eyes.  It was considered a bit classy to get married by licence rather than have the banns read in their respective parishes.
