Marriage lookups - St Peter's, Alton
« on: Saturday 04 May 13 00:39 BST (UK) »
I'd be really grateful if anyone could lookup the following marriages for me please, at St Peter's, Alton:

18 Jan 1779 - John Cope to Mary Brindley
8 Nov 1823 - George Cope to Sarah Hall
2 Jan 1837 - George Cope to Charlotte Kent

Have the info from FreeREG but would love to know if there's any more detail in the registers. If allowed, a photo would be the icing on the cake  ;D

Thanks,

Deirdre

I can't help you with the Cope/Brindley - marriage.

George Cope - Sarah Hall - as follows..
George Cope of parish of Leigh - bachelor and Sarah Hall -  of this parish - spinster - where married by banns - this 23 November 1823, by me Thomas Blackey - Vicar of Alton.
Witnesses: Samuel Hall (X) Hannah Flower (x).

George Cope - Charlotte Kent - both of this parish, were married by banns - 28 January 1837, by J.P. Jones - Vicar.
Witnesses: John Cope - Elizabeth Elks.
NOTE: there is no mention of the fact that George Cope was a widower and Charlotte Kent - widow -

Hi Sarra,

Thanks for those; as it happens, if 'my' George is the one baptised in Gratwich (as on the George Cope / Charlotte Kent topic) then I don't need the John Cope / Mary Brindley one anyway (I had them as possible parents for George, as I was looking for Alton, though they were married a good few years before George was born, so I had my doubts).

Thanks again,

Hi again Sarra,

Where did you find the George Cope / Sarah Hall marriage? Only wondering as the FreeREG entry says George was from Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire, not Leigh, so I'm just curious as to what the actual entry says.

Deirdre
I got it from- St Peter's Alton Staffordshire - BMBurials - on microfiche.
See my other post - George Cope/Charlotte Kent.
Sarra

EDIT
I have just come across the marriage information for George Cope/Sarah Hall.
This was downloaded in 2007 from the Family History Online website - which is now no more.
8 Nov 1823 at Alton in county STS groom George Cope - bachelor - residence LEIGH - Bride Sarah Hall - spinster - residence in county.
Note: So I actually got the information from two different places - and they both say 'LEIGH'.
Perhaps query the entry on FreeReg.

FreeREG have checked the entry and it should be LEIGH (makes so much more sense than Leighton Buzzard).

Hi Sarra,

It just seemed strange as it was so specific, but good that it's sorted.
