St Mary's Portsea: Marriage lookup
« on: Wednesday 18 April 12 16:59 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Is there anyone able and willing to look up a marriage for me in the St Mary's Portsea parish register? I have the IGI data, but I need to know whether there is any other information on the record, particularly regarding marital status of the bride and groom. The date is 4 Sep 1814 and the couple are Nicholas LAKE and Frances HITCHENS.
Help would be much appreciated.

Xanthe

dropped into HRO today and looked up your marriage - both parties were widowed as I think you were expecting.

Nicholas Lake widower and Francis Hitchens widow both of the parish were married in church by banns 14.9.1814

both signed the register

witnesses were a bit more tricky, Frances J Hookey/Gookey ( not sure about the surname) and Josephe Rowe (again not sure about the surname)

Hope it solves a family history problem

best wishes

Linda :)

Many thanks for looking that up, Linda - you're very kind. And, yes, that's just what I was hoping would be the case.

Best wishes
