Post by: Freeman on Tuesday 07 November 06 18:36 GMT (UK)

Please can someone confirm the following two probable marriage entries of my greatx4grandfather Joseph ?
1) m. Mary Wright 6/11/1763 All Saints Maidstone
2) m. Frances Lett 11/1/1767 St. Marys Chatham
Grateful for any info.
Many thanks
Freeman

Hi Freeman

The second marriage certainly can be verified.
Check out this website: http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/

1. Click on the Parish Registers Online link.
2. Then the link for Chatham St Marys
3. Then the View Imag es button for the Register of Marriages and Banns 1762-1772
4. Then the link for image 00050776.jpg

And there you have it - the actual marriage register entry complete with signatures.
(The banns are probably lurking in the same register somewhere)

Dear Dave

Many thanks for your prompt reply. This confirms the Chatham marriage and I found the Banns entry also.
Most grateful for your help.
Pity the Medway does not stretch to Maidstone as well !!
Best wishes
Freeman
