[mwkelly]

Hello i wonder if some one could find a marriage entry of my ancestors to include all details, witnesses and the correct name of Parish please.

William George Chaney b. 1803 Rochester, Kent occupation Stonemason [son of Francis and Sarah Chaney]

and

Sarah Susanna Palmer b. c1809 Kent [daughter of William and Charlotte Palmer]

married 9 August 1829 Leysdown-on-sea, Kent

Thank you for your help

I'm not quite sure what you are looking for. What do mean by an "extract"?.

There were no marriage certificates at that time, only entries in the Parish Register. They don't tell you much more than you already know. I have the transcription of it from the Kent Fam Hist Soc, and all it adds is:

The place where it would normally say bachelor or spinster for each party were unreadable, so the transcriptions just has "?"
Both are described as "Tp", or of "this parish" - but that only means they were living there at the time of the marriage. It says nothing definitive about birth place.
Witnesses were Fran Chancey and Maria Samsom.

Hi,
Leysdown-on-Sea was the parish. It is on the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames estuary, near Sheerness.

Also known as simply "Leysdown"

This is a good place to go to see where etc:
