Hi
Can anyone tell me where I can buy a cd of St George the Martyr, Southwark parish records. I have ancestors who may be in records. I have paid for search in the past but as do not have specific dates etc it would be better for me I think to buy a cd and browse through.
Kind Regard
Jacquie :)

Jacquie,
I'm sorry I can't answer your question directly but if you found out which Reg district the church is in maybe there is a matching FHS for that area... you could g**gle for their website and see if they have such a CD for sale.
Just a thought...

Hi Jacquie,
I've just registered with the site and noted your request last year concerning St George the Martyr. Most of my ancestors are registered as being christened and married in the parish and as I am living in France, I am looking for a local researcher to help. Did you use anyone when you were making your initial enquiries?
Regards
Barbara

How did you get on Jacqui? I am also looking for the details of a marriage in this church and don't know how to go about getting a marriage record from this era. If anyone has access I am looking for any further information on the marriage of Francis Gowin and Mildred Jesson on 15th April 1804

Hi at the time I sent off and paid for photocopy of page at Southwark Local Studies,but have since registered with Ancestryuk. I have found the wedding and banns for Francis Gowin and Mildred Jesson. If you send my your email I think can send via Ancestryuk.

Thank you Jacquie. My e mail is *
I am trying for many years to solve a mystery. I can't find anything about Francis Gowin apart from the fact he married Mildred Jesson 15th April 1804 at St George the Martyr, Southwark. Her family were from Deptford. They had a son James Gowin baptised at St Paul's, Deptford 23 October 1803. Then two daughters Mary George Gowin in 1805 and Amelia in 1807 both baptised in Deptford. Francis Gowin died in 1808 and his will states they are his children. James Gowin married Catherine Branson in 1833 at St Martin-in-the-Fields and they son afterwards sailed for Sydney on the "Warrior" travelling as Mr & Mrs Garrick. Also on board was his sister Mary who was going to Australia to join her husband Samuel Barnard. (Amelia died at 5 years old). The first child born to James and Catherine in Sydney was registered Francis James Gowen (on I.G.I as Gower), then James Garrick Gowin, Amelia Garrick Gowin, Alfred Christian Garrick Gowin and then the name changed permanantly to Garrick for Kate 1843, Edward 1844 ,Hannibal 1849 and Richard 1851.
I can't understand why the marriage of Francis Gowin and Mildred Jesson took place in Southwark instead of the bride's homeplace at Deptford and I can't find any other Gowin or Garrick families in Southwark? I don't suppose anyone will ever solve the mystery.
