COMPLETED : Surrey marriage lookup 1736-1740 please

[Ravelin]

Hello

I am looking for the marriage between Jeffery/Geffery Webb to Mary (surname unknown) between 1736 - 1740 possibly in the area surrounding Reigate. Jeffery's 1st wife Jane was buried in Reigate 1736.

I say the Reigate area as their children were all baptised there. I checked the Reigate PR and they did not marry there. Neither did i find a baptism for Jeffery/Geffery Webb in Reigate.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Ravelin

I checked the Surrey Marriage Index and saw Geoffrey's first marriage to Jane but no other marriages for him showing.  I wonder if he married elsewhere in another county?

Hello Kerry & woody32

Thank you for looking for the marriage.

Yes Kerry, it does appear that he married in another county seeing as he is not listed on the Surrey Marriage Index.

The marriage on the IGI looks interesting Woody.

Jeffery's ist wife Jane is buried 23/2/1736 Reigate. The next child born to Jeffery is Geffery on the 30/10/1738 in Reigate. No mothers name is given. The Jeffery Webb & Mary Ellis marriage is after that if i am corect with the old calender dates ?

Correction.

I just had a look at my notes and Geffery Webb & Mary are both named as the parents of the baptism of their child Geffery Webb 6/11/1738.

Going by the old calender dates would this rule out Jeffery Webb & Mary Ellis being the parents ?

What do you mean by the old calender dates?

I think Ravelin is talking about that being roundabout the time when the Julian changed to the Gregorian or was it the other way around.  I think though in this case, this must be the right marriage and christening.

ahhhh.....but it would only make a diference at the most by 3 months ( i Think  ) it would still fit in


please let a historian prove otherwise.....i do want to learn

Yes i was referring to the time when the Julian changed to the Gregorian calender.

I did a google search for the IGI and the calender change. It appears that the IGI has converted the old julian calender dates between 25 March to 1 January into the later gregorian one. 

This means that Jeffery Webb & Mary Ellis actually married 12th Feb 1737. Their son Geffery was born 9 months later. That is if they are the correct parents. They are a very good fit and i shall add them to my tree.

Here is the link to that site i found with info at the bottom of the page regarding the IGI & calender change. :
