Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to lookup a marriage in Battle for me?
Allegedly it occurred on 25th Sep 1793 between William TICEHURST and Sophia DARBY. I am particularly interested in whether it mentions the parishes that the bride and groom were from - I am very interested in whether Sophia came from outside of the parish and if so, where.
Fingers crossed and thank you in advance!
Best regards
Carl

Hello Carl
Welcome to Rootschat :)
If you look on the main Sussex Board you will find a Thread Ticehurst Family from Battle started by ChrisWD.
Looks like you are connected :D,& will answer the marriage Question.
I have been helping Chris but still cant find where Sophia Darby came from.
Kind Regards

Hi Omega,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I've collaborated with Chris for a number of years now working on the Ward / Darby family line (but didn't know he was corresponding on here too!).
Unfortunately this is a piece of the puzzle that we are both stuck on which was why we were hoping that the original register may have revealed more details on the parishes of the bride or groom - and in particular the bride.
Unfortunately other avenues that usually prove useful (British Libraray Newspaper Archive / nineteenth century periodicals on Google books etc) have so far drawn a blank.
Thank you anyway and good luck in your own researches.
Best wishes,
Carl

Hello Carl
They did Marry by Licence.Sometimes you get lucky with extra info on the Sussex Marriage Index,saying where Bride or Groom came from but not in your case.
Maybe if you applied for the Licence from East Sussex Record Office,it may have on there where Sophia was from.
Kind Regards
