Title: sussex marriage index - look up

Please could you try and find a marriage entry for a James G Mann + Mary Ann Sargent in the Hastings area on 13/2/1837.

This occured before the civil registration, so I couldn't locate it on Free BMD.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello made in China,

My 4xgrandfather was James G Mann who married Mary Ann Sargent 13/02/1837.
At  Hastings St Clements, East Sussex.
I had some one do research for me and they found out that no fathers's names were on the certificate or ages of the couple, but the witnesses were James Sargent and Mary Sargent.
I am trying to find out who Jame's parents were and was also told about the Delia and William mann but am not too sure about them as his middle name is Goldsmith. Have to do some looking in to that one.
If it is Delia and william though, I have information that they married 7/5/1815  at Guestling Sussex.
Delia  (cordelia)is possibly the baseborn daughter of a Mary Parry, a pauper, christened on 27 sep 1789 at Ore, Sussex.
James G Mann died september qtr 1890 age 74 Willesden Hendon area
Mary Ann March qtr 1884 age 67 Willesden.
Hope this helps.
