Title: BRIDGES marriage prior to 1837...
Post by: Sunshinejack on Wednesday 30 April 08 17:24 BST (UK)

Ok I know this is a long shot but I figured I'd ask anyways cuz I have nothing to lose right??

I was wondering if anyone had any access to North Wiltshire parish records?
I'm looking for a marriage between Richard Bridges(b. 1805 Wiltshire) and a Martha (b. 1805 Marston Meysey). In 1841 they were living in Castle Eaton as one great lady on here found for me. Their oldest child,William, was born there around 1832. So I'm guessing their marriage was a couple years earlier perhaps?

Tks for reading,

Jacqueline

Hi,

I checked the marriage register for Castle Eaton between 1813 and 1837 - unfortunately, no Richard Bridges married there during that time. (There was a Hannah Bridges that married a John Bristow in 1822)

If I'd had time I would've checked the registers for Marston Meysey, but will have a look next time I visit the records office.

Good luck with your research,
Paula

Just in case you have yet to find the marriage for Richard I found this in the Marston Meysey transcripts.

7 March 1831. Richard Bridges. Castle Easton. Banns. Martha Thomas. spinster Of Parish. Marston Meysey.

Hope this helps.
West.
