Hi Audrey,

West Tarring baptism:

31/12/1854 Edith, daughter of Luke & Eleanor HENSON; father's occupation Shepherd.

West Tarring marriage:

09/06/1853 Luke HENSON, Shepherd from Heene, & Eleanor BUSHBY, Servant from Heene, both single. Groom's father Obadiah HENSON, bride's father not given. Witnesses George BUSHBY & Ann Coot FEEST (Ann's given name queried by the transcriber). Marriage after Banns which were read at West Tarring 22 & 29 May & 5 June 1853.

Source: PRTS

Not the marriage you requested (which is absent from the West Tarring marriage & banns registers) but one that may be of some interest.

HTH,
Stovepipe

Thank you very much for the information!   You're right that is wasn't the marriage I asked about but has taken me back another generation with a maiden name I didn't have so it will, hopefully, open a few more doors.

It would seem the couple I was originally asking about did not marry where I thought they did so I'll have to do some more digging - and a bit of guessing.

Regards,

Audrey

Hi Audrey,

For Edith's marriage try St Mary's, Broadwater.

FamilySearch has the marriage too, but the transcription in the above link has more detail (addresses, occupations, witnesses, etc).

Good luck with your research,
Stovepipe

That's fantastic - thank you very much, again!

have you tried The Parish Register Society? They can sell you (for about £3-£4) a CD of the West Tarring Parish register from arond 1600 to 1910.
It lists baptisms, marriages & deaths for that period.

That's very helpful - thank you.
