Marriage ~Xmas Day~Kent. Lookup please.
« on: Sunday 22 May 05 18:56 BST (UK) »
  :) Would someone be kind enough to lookup the marriage on Christmas Day 1845.
                           For Edward Mepstead aged 21 in Kent.
                                   His wife was Martha Elizabeth.

          Trying to find out where and her maiden name.
                   I have the certificate but can't make these bits out.

                                     Many thanks.               :)           Lesanne.

Lesanne,

Can I suggest that you post the difficult parts of the certificate for others to see.  Without the exact location, it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to locate the record in the church registers.  No-one can view what the certificate contains without buying it.  ;)  - that's the difficulty of our registration system.

Hi Nell,

 Didn't think to put the cert up. Tried freebmd, but no match for the pair.

The scans for marriages in 1845 are not available to view & maybe being transcribed at the moment on FreeBMD, I found the index for Edward Mepstead on 1837.com but would need more info on spouses surename, such as first 3 letters to check index for her. GRO index is 1845, December quarter, Volume 5, Page 627 & the district is N Aylesford.  Sorry I could not help more.
