Hello, I would like to request, if possible, a marriage records look-up for my great-grandparents :-

Harry Riches  d.o.b  c.1866, place of birth Brockford (Street), Suffolk,  an Agricultural Labourer (per the 1901 census).


In the late 1880's or very early 1890's ( prior to 1893) Harry married Florence from a neighbouring village -  Mickfield.

I am trying to determine Florence's maiden name and the name and occupation of her father, if that is on the marriage record.

I understand that the parish church of Mickfield may have been called St.Andrews and is now redundant.


Many Thanks  :)

Thankyou very much. I think that the Florence Chilvers you have found is the lady I'm looking for, but I will obtain the marriage cert. as you have suggested.

Many Thanks
