Hi there

No, it means Marriages that were due to take place under the auspices of the Registry Office, but not always in the Registry Office - hence starting date of 1837.

These notices of intent to marriage were originally pinned up in the Registry Office as they are today, but the books containing these notices should have been pulped; but instead they were donated to the Museum for safe keeping.

And before you ask - there are 16 notices that contain the Surname MOON

Now I suppose you want me to copy them all out for you

Do you have the information from the Baptism Registers - I think there was either 36 or 39 entries for the surname MOON between 1700 and 1877

The very first entry for Hastings is John, son of John & Ann in 1810, so that is a good indicator when they moved to the town from wherever

Just let me know and I will start copying them out
