On Find My Past I have found a record of a marriage between one John Sullivan and Eleanor Leheay inKensington in July 1834. This comes from the West Middlesex Marriage Index I would like to find the original marriage records as the names of the witnesses may give some clues. I am assuming this entry refers to Kensington St Mary Abbotts. Does anyone know where the original records are kept? Also this odd spelling of Leheay turns up on a birth certificate in 1838 of the couple's son John Sullivan. I had thought this was a mistake and the name was Leahy but seeing this odd spelling again on the marriage record has led me to doubt this. Has anyone seen this name elsewhere? (Almost certainly Irish) Any suggestions welcome Ros Dunning
According to Phillimore, there are copies of the registers, 1539 - 1853 at the Society of Genealogists; it doesn't indicate where the originals are held Lesley -----Original Message----- From: Ros Dunning Sent: Friday, March 17, 2017 4:04 PM To: goons@rootsweb.com Subject: [G] Registers for Kensington St Mary Abbotts On Find My Past I have found a record of a marriage between one John Sullivan and Eleanor Leheay inKensington in July 1834.
