Title: Lookup please: John Sweet, marriage 1811
Post by: joshii5 on Friday 09 September 11 00:49 BST (UK)
Hi,

I am very interested in the marriage of John Sweet and Elizabeth Oliver in St. Peter's Church, Derby in 1811 as they look like likely candidates for my ancestor James Sweet's parents.

A John and Elizabeth Sweet died in 1837 and 1836 respectively, in Rugeley. Annoying this was shortly before certificates had to be issued by law. I know from James Sweet's 1842 marriage certificate that his father was 'John Sweet - hosier'. I have also found James Sweet's 1820 Rugeley baptism claiming his parents are a John and Elizabeth Sweet.

Any more information from Matlock on the parish record and the bond (if it still exists) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
