Stratton Audley Marriage Records after 1748
« on: Wednesday 29 December 21 10:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi Guys

Can you help again please.

I'm trying to find a Register of Marriages for Stratton Audley. When I search on A****.co.uk using no Christian or Surname, just using Stratton Audley as the location, the last marriages that seem to be recorded are in 1748.

Is there a Register somewhere else where i need to look that I don't have access to? or have the Stratton Audley marriages been subsumed into another Register, say the Bicester Parish Register?

I seem to have a few marriage records that fall after 1748 that I am unable to find.

Many thanks for your help

Regards

pegwill

Are you looking at the images of the Stratton Audley register on ancestry? There are definitely marriages recorded after 1748 that I can see.  :-\ At least up to 1751, but none after that. Later marriages are indexed, but no images as far as I can see.

What names in particular are you looking for?

Hi maddys52

Thanks for looking.

The marriage I'm currently looking for is George Carey(1727) and Ann Humphries(1726) which I believe happened around 1758 in Stratton Audley.

While the transcripts from the Register are OK i have found quite a few omissions (perhaps 3 or 4 lately) when you go through the Registers almost line by line.

While I understand that  'Select' Births, Marriages Deaths are from microfiche and not easy to sort through I thought that looking through the Register would be easier.

Your help is much appreciated.

Regards

Marriages 1754-1812: '...too damaged by damp for consultation'.

That presumably explains their absence from Ancestry.

ADDED
There may be bishop's transcripts for that parish at the Oxfordshire History Centre

Hi Bookbox

Many thanks for the information and also the added comment regarding the Bishops Transcript. I will give this a try.
