Sorry about that, I was not sure how to give information to Jann that involved other websites.

Thank you, I will have to think on that one, only because Harriet Martin (Seymore) would not have been directly related.

Aside from that, my Grandfather: George Henry Willard married Ethel Every in December 1909 either at Lewes or Crowborough Sussex, apart from the Record Office where would I find evidence of the Banns for their marriage?

Thanks for your help

Roy,

Thanks much for the offer.  I will send you a personal message via Rootschat's system.

My 3x great grandfather died just shy of 100.  Must be the water!

The 1909  Willard/Every marriage was in the Lewes district.  www.freebmd.org.uk is a very useful site though you have to remember that each registration district covers a lot of villages.
