Hi,

Is this the couple?     From FreeBMD

Mary Williams     DecQ1839     Medway    5    449

Also listed is James CHALKIN

The certificate should show the name and occupation of his father.

Yes!  It certainly would appear to be so.  It means Mary would have been married at about age 17, but that is certainly possible.  I will order the certificate.  Thank you!!  This has somehow eluded several people who have been looking.  Well done!

Hello Casalguidi!

And thank you -- that's absolutely fantastic!  Thanks for going to so much trouble.  I am delighted with this parish record. James & Mary have eluded discovery for quite a while.  So much help here on RootsChat.
