Good evening Hampshire People, Thanks to a wrong entry on the Familysearch site, it's taken me years to find the wedding of Joseph BRIDGES, bachelor, 28, Labourer, of Durley and Martha REEVES, spinster, 19, Servant, of Durley on 2nd August 1846 in the Parish Church in Durley. Joseph's father was James Bridges, Labourer, and Martha's was John Reeves, ditto. Witnesses making their mark were Peter and Elizabeth Bridges. Joseph and Martha's seventh and youngest child (as far as I know) was Alice Maria 13th September 1868 in Durley. She married Henry J. LANE in 1891 in the Wesleyan Chapel in Fareham. Is there anyone who can add to this? I have no mothers for Joseph/Martha, and no siblings. Peter, if you are reading this, it adds a bit to what we had! Hopefully, Liz Elizabeth Lane Worthing West Sussex liz_lane@ntlworld.com

Dear Liz, Apologies if you've already tried this, but the Durley History Society has an excellent site for all things Durley. There are complete parish register transcriptions from the 1560s to 1899/1900 and some beautifully transcribed census returns for the years 1841-1871. The Newsletters page is also worth a good look if you are interested in the general history of Durley. The records page can be accessed from the link below:- http://www.hants.gov.uk/durley/organisations/histsoc/parishrecords.htm Hope this helps. Cheers, Marie. ----- Original Message ----- > Good evening Hampshire People,
