Hi,
I am trying to find out the date and place of the marriage between John Harvey and Sarah French in Gloucestershire around 1826. If anyone can help that would be great. She was born Stonehouse near Stroud, he was born Walcot, Bath, but they lived in Cheltenham all their married life.
Many thanks,
annmarg

Hi Ann,
John HARVEY married Sarah FRENCH at St Mary, Cheltenham, 18th July 1826, by Banns.
The following baptisms at St Mary, Cheltenham, are for the children of a John & Sarah HARVEY, a Book Binder of Cheltenham:-
John HARVEY baptised ?? December 1828.
Maria HARVEY baptised 5th September 1830.
Samuel, Mary & William HARVEY all baptised 9th July 1837.
I can't guarantee that these baptisms are the children of John HARVEY & Sarah FRENCH above.
Victor :)

Hello Victor,
Many thanks for going to the trouble of looking up their marriage. I don't know who George Elliott and Mary Lorn were. John did have a sister Mary, so it could be her married name, but Mary was such a popular name.
Best wishes and good luck with your own research.
Ann
