Title: Marriage lookup
Post by: jmedwards on Saturday 31 March 07 14:44 BST (UK)

[private email removed to prevent misuse]    Is anyone able to help me please? I am looking for the marriage of John Aldridge of East  Dereham and Hannah (Cooke?) of Weasenham.  I have the census copies for all the years going back to 1841 but cannot get further back on either person. She was born c1797 and he c1785. Any help appreciated, I cannot get over to the U.K. often so rely on websites for research.

Hi

I think I have located your marriage.

John Oldridge and Hannah Cook were married on 25 January 1819 in St Nicholas Chapel, King's Lynn.

They were living in the Red Lion in Purfleet Street in Lynn in 1851.

Hannah appears to be the daughter of John & Ann Cook and was baptised in Weasenham in 1797.

I will pm you.

Teddy

Thank you very much for that teddybear,
I had been trying to find their mariage at Weasenham thinking of the bride's home. Did you happen to notice if John's surname was spelt with an O or A?
