Hi Yvonne,   I have checked the Sussex Marriage Index, which is a CD containing pretty well every Sussex marriage from c1537 to 1837. and the first James Carpenter marriage shown doen't take place until 1692.  Errors or omissions in this CD are very few and far between.   Are you certain as to the accuracy of your information?.   All the best,   Robin ________________________________ From: yvonne cutts <bazahome-cutts@powerup.com.au> To: SUSSEX PLUS <SUSSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, 10 July 2013, 0:20 Subject: [SXP] marriage Yvonne From Australia                                         I need some help please.
