Title: Marriages St Peter and St Paul, Dagenham Early 1800's
Post by: rsel on Sunday 08 January 12 07:15 GMT (UK)

Hi All,

    I have been looking at the parish registers on the Seax web site for St Peter and St Paul, Dagenham to try and find the marriages of some relatives, and am supprised at how few seem to have taken place between 1810 & 1816ish, when i am guessing (based on earliest children's births) the marriages would have taken place. So i am wondering what may have been going on in the parish at the time, as there is plenty of baptisms & burials going on, just very few marriages. I know the church colasped at the end of the 1790's, but the rebuilding was competed around 1805/6.
    Also does anybody have any thoughts on where the marriages may have been taking place instead, as i tried Becontree without any luck.

Thanks



Richard

Maybe try Barking, Great Ilford and Hornchurch.

Thanks Diblet, 

i'm slowly working round those parishs, the images for Barking are currently very small on the scans :-( so almost impossible to read.

A relative of mine moved to a farm in Dagenham and all his children were married in Romford.
