Parish records for marriages in West Firle
« on: Thursday 22 December 05 12:19 GMT (UK) »
As I am unable to visit the records office personally could anyone point  me in the right direction to find the above either on CD, in book form or via internet?
I can access baptisms and burials but need the marriages to fit it all together

If you would like to tell us the name(s), then perhaps someone can check the Sussex Marriage Index.

The index is available on CD from the Sussex Family History Group.

Hi

Thanks for the quick response.  I am searching for Weller, I have 5 Thomas Wellers baptised 1700 1721 1756 1788 1795. 2 were married to Mary and 1 to an Ann, also several William and Alexanders. I am trying to put them in the correct order so I am hoping that the Marriage records would help.
I have been looking ay the SFHG site but cannot see anything for Firle or West Firle, perhaps I am looking in the wrong place! any guidance welcome.

Lel,

Here are some possible marriages - he could have married elsewhere other than West Firle, but it's difficult to know how far afield to look.  I tried to stick to only Mary or Ann as the wife but included others where the parish was close by.

Thomas Weller m Frances Hide
23 Apr 1684, West Firle, East Sussex

Thomas Weller of Chailey m Mary Savage otp by licence
27 Apr 1708 Newick

Thomas Wellar m Ann Rothwell
9 May 1711 Ringmer

Thomas Weller m Ann Taylor
19 Oct 1740 Glynde

Thomas Weller & Ann Pierce minor both otp by licence
9 Sep 1764 Beddingham 
(licence gives his age as 22 and husbandman of Beddingham)

Thomas Weller & Ann Mockett both otp
15 Apr 1782 West Firle

Thomas Weller (labr) m Lydia Hyde wid both otp by banns
17 Nov 1784 Beddingham

Alexander Weller m Susanna Gladman both otp by banns
11 Feb 1804 West Firle

Second marriage for Alexander
Alexander Weller widr m Mary Mockett both otp by banns
24 Apr 1808 West Firle

Alexander Weller bach m Katherine Mockett sp both otp by banns
23 Dec 1820 Brighton

Alexander Mockett Weller otp m Ann Elizabeth Merrell
18 Dec 1834 Maresfield

There are lots of posibilities for William Weller.

Let me know if any of these help or you need more.

Nell

Little Nell this is fantastic I have been searching the internet for this information for months!

I have had another look at SFHG site and have come across the Sussex Marriage Index 1538-1837 @ £21.00 or a Library edition @ £105 is this the CD you were refering to and is that where you found the above information. If so I will order today. Thank you soo much.

Yes, Lel, that's the one.  You only need the £21 version!

Happy to help.  :)
