« on: Monday 12 October 15 18:03 BST (UK) »
Does anybody have any information on Charles Meachen and Hannah Whisson? Charles was born 1822 in Mattishall Norfolk and Hannah was born 1823 in Colton Norfolk. They married 1842 in Colton Norfolk. Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks Molly

Hi Molly,

A warm welcome from me also  :)

1851 -

Henry Meachen   29 b. Mattishall, Norfolk, Ag Lab
Hannah Meachen   28
Charlotte Meachen   6
Farah Ann Meachen   4
Henry Meachen   1

HO107 Piece 1824 Folio 256 Page 20

It would appear that Hannah did marry a Henry Meachen as per Suzard's post.

marriage and banns

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01ga6/

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01ga7/

good find - I have been puzzling why the marriage was reg Mar qtr 1843 yet select had the date as 18 Dec 1842  -as marriages are always reg in the quarter they take place

It seems select have put date of banns as date of marriage
Marriage date 8 Jan 1843 which fits with BMD reg
