Walter Noble (1828)

are you referring to William Nathaniel's death cert? If so - i already have a copy - info contained states he died 12th may 1840 agec 52 years in parish of cuckfield. occupation states he was "gentleman". Cause of death - inflammation of chest. Charlotte is the informant - death registered 15th may  - registrar was a William Cooper.

does anyone know how we can get a copy of the marriage of william to charlotte that happened in 1809 in brighton - that would tell us at least if it's the same william and charlotte from cuckfield?... wouldn't it? I can't remember who thought they had found the record... or where they found it?

HI Buzz999

AS i understand it Marriage certificates were not issued pre 1837. However from 1774 to 1837 the church had a template book in which marriages were entered. The book for St Nicholas's in Brighton for thi period is hel on microfiche in the Brighton History centre. Brighton History Centre

Not sure how of when you can get access,(They have an e-mail so will e-mail them to find out) I'm going to see if any of my local contacts fancies an afternoon out perusing the microfiches. I'm also pretty sure that the only details on there will be name of bride & groom, date, signatures of Priest, bride & groom & witnesses. Still it may provide a clue

mark you are quite right in what you are saying about williams marriage cert.but we can only hope one of the nobles was a witness.on one of mine in 1700,s his father had signed.so there is hope.or maybe a brother.

I've just had a very nice and friendly e-mail reply from the Brighton Library- history department re a copy of the Parish record for William's marriage and they are going to send it to me in the post sometime in the next couple of days- let's see if it has any more info of use. Hopefully should be here within 10 -14 days - watch this space

Well done!! fingers crossed it might shed a little light!

I've just received the Marriage entry for William and Charlotte - but not much additional info I'm afraid! ONe of the witnesses was Charlotte Noble or is it Charles? (image attached) and the other John Pocock also appears on the entry before this so I am assuming he was somebody at the church who regularly witnessed for people.

Anyway check out the image and let me know what you think,

I would say it was Charlott

The other name of John Pocock was probably the verger - they often witnessed marriages, sometimes signing several pages of the register in advance.

Thanks Chris,

Now I wonder who Charlott Noble was? Sister, mother aunt cousin? - guess no way of knowing?

Thanks again,
