That 1882 marriage in Newhaven...are any addresses given for either bride or groom?

[pjbuk007]

Residences just given as Newhaven for James, and Wickwar, Gloucestershire for Eunice on 1882 Marriage Cert.  Cannot find PRs, would they say any more? 

I am convinced that this is the right Eunice, and I did look for the other (Weston Super Mare) Eunice through the censuses, when I first did this. 

My mother told me today that a generation or so down there was a "bad girl" who was associated with "someone very bad, a robber".  She genuinely does not know any more.   My Aunt, who might, has already stated that she will not talk about any of this.

I just put that last in to show that maybe some fishy goings on ran in the family (John PERRETT, Eunice's Dad in Horsley Jail in 1851).

I would love to weasel this out.

I just arranged today for the Lady who runs ONS for husband's name and is over from Australiato come for lunch on Sunday!  So I need to go and sort out those papers, probably will not post much on this until Monday, but PLEASE keep trying/coming up with suggestions.

Thanks to all who have taken an interest.

Gloucestershire archives shows this for John Perrett, now wether it's just the 1851 census or wether they have more information it doesn't say, but you could always ask them.

Glos Archives also have listings for the Wotton-under-Edge Stranges in the non-conformist catalogue, and an Edmund Strange of Rangeworthy in gaol in 1827.

On 27 Aug 1882 Eunice Ann PERRETT marries James STRANGE (widower, labourer, resident of Newhaven; father Edward STRANGE, deceased).  Marriage in The Parish Church, Newhaven, Sussex. Witnesses Harriet PERRETT and John PERRETT, labourer  who is also given as bride’s father.

1881 Census

James Strange boarding along sea side in the huts
he is a messenger age 52 b. Liverpool


there was a Perrett family over in Brighton around this time

Newhaven Museum would be worth contacting - peter mason on here
he has photos of these huts
and some events that occured at St Michaels  - mainly burials
the graveyard there the stones are not all readable and they noted them down before the graveyard was closed and the  burials took place at lewes Road in Newhaven

i live in Newhaven - do you need to know anything about the town itself?

Yes, it is the Parish Church, Newhaven, Sussex. aka St Michaels.

Cannot find any PRs or other clues.
