Title: 'Hyland' 1829 Marriage Look-up
Post by: DDeacons on Thursday 18 April 13 22:30 BST (UK)

Hi, could anyone please look up a marriage for me in Rye, Sussex?

On the IGI I found a marriage for Ruth Hyland to Thomas Robertson on 21 Jan 1829 at Rye, East Sussex. They are my Maternal 4x Gt Grandparents.

I am hoping Ruth was the daughter of William Hyland? but I cannot find her baptism c1809?
Ruth 'Robinson' is with a William & Lucy Hyland on the 1841 Census with 2 of her Robertson/Robinson children. Thomas was not there, but then he was a Mariner....

Am wondering if her marriage will provide any more clues & confirm if William was her father, or anymore Hyland/Robertson names as witnesses.

Whilst I have been researching my family tree for many years, I am new to this site, so I hope this post makes sense.
Thankyou in advance of anything,
Regards, Debbie.

Hi

Fathers names were not shown on marriage entries prior to 1.7.1837 which is the date when Civil Registration was introduced.  Mothers names are never shown on English marriage certs

All you will get will be on the lines of the following - some of which you may already know

Names, date and venue

Spinster/bachelor - or widow/widower
Age = Full (over 21yrs) or Minor (under 21yrs)
Of this parish (OTP) - does not necessarily mean they were both born in that parish - just that they satisfied the short residential qualifying time required to enable them to marry there (approx 3wks)

The name and signature of the person marrying them plus the signatures of the 2 witnesses (occasionally more than 2 witnesses but not usual)

These are possible siblings for Ruth from Family Search

There are no further details for the marriage on the Sussex marriage index though it does have Thomas as Robinton.

Thankyou Carole, I was hoping for a lucky break, on the off-chance that anything extra had been added...
I do have John Hyland & Marianne or (Mary Ann)  siblings, as Ruth was with Mary Ann on one of the census returns.
Than k you anyway :)

And thank you Sillgen, yes, sometimes the family of Ruth & Thomas were recorded as 'Robinson', instead of Robertson.
Thank you both for contributing :)

Actually it was Robinton, as I put, so a T not an S.  An unusual variant.
