Kent Registration Index - Where!?
« on: Sunday 24 February 08 20:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Does anyone know where SS31/7 is on the Kent Reg Index?  It is after Minster (Sheppey) (SS31/3) and before Murston (SS32/1), the bride was from Sheppey and the groom from Rainham but in 1901 they were in Milton.

Any pointers much appreciated!

Hi Alex

If SS31/3 is Minster, Sheppey then I would assume that all the SS31 entries are - the suffix just being a later book number.

Hi Alex

I can't help with the registration reference, but I have a list of Kent Parishes in alphabetical order.
After Minster (Sheppy) there's Minster (Thanet), Molash, Monks Horton, Monkton, & then Murston.

Is that any use?

I've got a similar query:

Is Register SMILT/9 -  Sittingbourne, Milton or is it possible to narrow down the place of marriage any further?  Were there many churches in Milton in 1904?

Hi Bearkat

I think these ones are the registry office/non conformist chapels but I'm not sure if they are all intermingled ie. in date order irrespective of office/chapel as the registrar would perform all the ceremonies in these cases or if there is a separate one for each establishment :-\

Thanks casalguidi.

The groom was Irish - could it be the Catholic Church?  If it is, I bet the records aren't at CKS. :(

Thanks all, Minster makes sense as she came from there but it was a second marriage so who knows!

Alex, it would be the same church - it is the SS31 that is the important bit. 

If I can try and explain take, for instance, Folkestone St Mary in Elham district which is S14.  At the start of civil registration the code is S14/1 but by, say,  1848 they are using a new book/register so it is now S14/2 and by 1900 it is S14/6.

Just realised I have a marriage in my tree for the Abbey Church, Minster, Sheppey 1899 and the code is SS31/7

Brilliant thanks, this one was in 1898 so it makes sense, logic should have told me that they were just different volumes; now I need to find a look-up!

Cheers
