Hello,
I'm wondering whether anyone has access to view Sudbury marriage records for 1802? Ancestry has given me a possible match as a transcription only and it's a bit of a long shot even allowing for spelling variants of the time. Unfortunately it doesn't clarify which parish church in Sudbury, and I believe there is more than one. The transcription is for a marriage between Ann Mizen and Robert Kimmerie 15/02/1802. I have an ancestor Ann Mizen who married a Robert Kimmence (spelling varies). They lived in Withersfield and the first child I have found was baptised there in 1803, so this would be about right. I have not found any other marriage records that could be them, so I'm hopeful this could be the one.
I know transcriptions can be quite wide of the mark at times, so if anyone is able to look it up for me, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Sheena

The Ann Mizen who married in 1802 was widowed.
Robert Kimmerie was single.

Thanks,
I read that as him who's widowed and her single?
I still wonder how accurately his name has been transcribed. I've never come across a Kimmerie before, although that doesn't mean there weren't any. :)

According to the Suffolk Marriage Index, produced by Suffolk FHS, Ann Mizen married Robert Kimmence, a widower, on 15 February 1803 at Withersfield, St Mary The Virgin.

Hi Sheena,
Just to add to what has been listed. It looks like his 1st wife was Elizabeth (Ex SFHS burials index).
Withersfield St.Mary;
21-1-1802 Elizabeth Kimmence w/o Robert (Late Chapman) mother of John.
This might come in handy if you have a John Kimmence in your records.

Thank you both, this makes much more sense! I did once
visit the Suffolk record office to do some research but the person who wrote the Withersfield parish records at this time, had the tiniest writing I've ever seen, so it took me all day to search for a very limited number of relatives! ::)
