Dartford Kent marriage 1755
« on: Sunday 21 July 19 13:44 BST (UK) »
Help! I'm trying to view the original marriage entry for Thomas Chappel to Mary Keet in January 1755 via Cityark but it won't load for me! Is there something I'm not doing right or is this a common problem with the site?

Trying to establish if Thomas was a Widower when he married.

I can't even get the main web page to open.  Maybe worth trying again tomorrow

ADDED It opened finally but is now going very slowly while I try to open the parish registers search

I used to love that site until they changed it, now I find it a chore to get into the registers I want to view

It says, Dartford Holy Trinity
Register of marriages, 1755-1763
Ref P110/1/5
1 volume
Physical description Mostly illegible

No digitised version / pdf :(

Can't see the marriage on FreeReg, looks like they had trouble with it.

I used to love that site until they changed it, now I find it a chore to get into the registers I want to view

I do so agree, Rosie.

Banns are up, but start 1763 (too late!). Some entries have marital status.

The entry on FamilySearch is from a book, The parish registers of Dartford, Kent, 1561-1812, transcribed by Thomas Colyer-Fergusson

I can see the marriage indexed on findmypast, Kent Marriages And Banns. Just a transcript, don't know what more (if anything) it says
