Pembury Marriage 1883

[Peter Cornwell]

I am trying to establish the parentage of Charles CORNWELL who married Eliza HALL at St Peter's Church, Pembury, Q4 1883 (Tunbridge 2a 1078). If someone with access to the church register (or transcript) can provide me with his personal details I would be most grateful. Thank you.

In 1871 he & brother Sampson are in Cambridge working as agricultural labourers

Sampson's 1849 birth reg shows mothers maiden name Day

Many thanks to all who responded to my request. This was exactly the information I was looking for and while there appears to be some heavy lifting to do on what I thought was my (usually) reliable Cambridgeshire CORNWELL database I now feel more hopeful of a resolution to my question.

Carole W must have 'the oud toad's bone' somewhere about her for, it best horse-whisperer fashion, I suspect that she may have put her finger right on it. But please bear with ...

Thanks again to emeltom, Christine53, and Carole W. Much obliged.

Just to confirm that that Carole W was absolutely correct in that Charles CORNWELL who married Eliza HALL in Pembury on 11 Nov 1883 was indeed the son of William CORNWELL (1825-1874) & Rhoda DAY (1830-aft 1891) of Swaffham Prior. But how she got there so fast is most impressive - so kudos !

Eliza's illegitimate son Jesse HALL born on Brede Hill in Oct 1880 still eludes me after 1891 but I am confident that I now have a firmer grip on this particular branch of the scattered CORNWELL tribe.

Thanks again to all those who responded - much appreciated.
