Hi Barbara, I'm part of the Repton Village History Group and am wondering if our archive could help you. I was surprised that Bretby had no consecratred ground at the time and wasn't licensed for mariages till 1911. Can I confirm that this was the Parish Church please? We're having a look for the grave and to see if there is a memorial. Next time I'm in the new records office in Matlock I'll have a hunt for the marriage. Happy hunting Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Harvey" <barbara.bh@btconnect.com> To: <derbysgen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 08, 2013 10:40 PM Subject: Re: [DBY] Brickwall demolition - S for STARTIN > My long standing brickwall is the marriage of Richard STARTIN to Mary > BERESFORD on 28 November 1780 in Repton.
