A lot of Derbyshire parishes have been transcribed and are on CD.  Which parish are you looking for?

Alfreton, darley abbey, foremark and a few more I think, my ancestors didn't seem to be much for travelling!

What makes you think they were all from Alfreton?  I can't see any of those people on the CD

George Edwards married Emma Whitmore 6 Nov 1870 at Findern, Derbyshire

They were all recorded as living in shirland and findern, I can't find them on shirland marraige records, and I can't access baptism records on line, so I thought they may have used the next biggest church I.e alfreton. Thankyou for your help though, atleast I have one more date.
