Title: Marriage Lookup - Ann & William Cheal of Seaford c. 1807
Post by: Peffness on Thursday 21 April 16 21:48 BST (UK)

Hi all,

I'm having trouble tracking down a marriage record for my GGGG grandparents Ann and William Cheal.

They lived in Seaford and I've found 9 children baptised at St. Leonard's between 1808 and 1827 to William and Ann Cheal(e). Most of these list William as a shoemaker/cordwainer.

The earliest baptism is Edward Cheal, 10 Feb 1808. So from that I'd expect a marriage in Seaford around 1807. I'm drawing a blank, though  :-\

As well as the date & place of marriage I'd love to find out Ann's maiden name. I've found her listed as Ann Unstead (Unsted / Hunstead) on public trees but without any sources to back that up, which is why I'm trying to double check!

Thanks in advance for any help :)
