Hi Listers Can anyone tell me how I can access the Egham Parish records please? Are they stored in Egham? I am specifically looking for a copy of the original records of a marriage that took place on 24th July 1789 in Egham, between Sarah BURT and William COOKSEY. The index I have does not indicate who the parents of either party were, or which church they married in. Any advice appreciated. As I live in Australia I would very much appreciate an address or email to send my request to. Regards Wendy, Australia

Hi Wendy The parish registers for St John the Baptist, Egham (the only church in Egham at the time) are at the Surrey History Centre in Woking, who offer a research service. You should be aware, however, that the marriage register will not show the names of either party's parents. Fathers' names appear on marriage certificates only after 1 July 1837. Prior to that, you may, very occasionally, see mention of a parent if the bride or groom was a minor and required consent, and even more occasionally, that parent might be named. The marriage register will, however, give the names of at least two witnesses, but these will not necessarily be related to either party - church officials could act as witnesses so you should check the register to see if the names appear frequently. Hope this helps Caroline > -----Original Message----- > From: eng-surrey-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-surrey- > bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Wendy > Sent: 04 December 2009 5:49 AM > To: ENG-SURREY@rootsweb.com > Subject: [SRY] Egham Parish Records > > Hi Listers > > > > Can anyone tell me how I can access the Egham Parish records please? > Are > they stored in Egham? > > > > I am specifically looking for a copy of the original records of a > marriage > that took place on 24th July 1789 in Egham, between Sarah BURT and > William > COOKSEY. > > > > The index I have does not indicate who the parents of either party > were, or > which church they married in.

HI Wendy, You can order the original Parish registers from your local LDS family history centre for $5 I have had the Parish registers out for Egham myself. Just go to the www.familysearch.org website and click on Library catalogue. Place search.......Egham. You can keep the PR's for about 3 months and research them at the LDS on their film readers. I have found occasionally fathers names will be on earlier records, but hopefully of some value will be the witnesses names which will not appear on the indexes. They may also tell you the Parish they are from or whether they are OTP.......I never get the indexes myself, preferring to get the original PR's. Egham was on one reel, so you can go back and forward from the dates you want and database any family members.

Hi Wendy. I suggest that you try the Mormons at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp, then click place search, then type in Egham, then Egham Surrey. In the church record indexes, these go from 1560 and if you have contacts or access to the mormans, you can order the relevant microfiche. I very much hope that this is of use All the best Peter -----Original Message----- From: Wendy [mailto:wcooksey@tpg.com.au] Sent: 04 December 2009 05:49 To: ENG-SURREY@rootsweb.com Subject: [SRY] Egham Parish Records Hi Listers Can anyone tell me how I can access the Egham Parish records please?
