Has anyone had more joy than me in finding about the family of Ellen Hartfield born 1834 Chidham Sussex, died in 1914? She married Joseph Bridger on 24/4/1858 in Eastergate Sussex. Thank you

There's an Ellen Harfield in 1841 and 1851 that could fit.

Was a father listed on her marriage cert?

Sarah


Here's her marriage registration, from www.freebmd.org.uk


Marriages Jun 1858 (>99%)

Bridger Joseph Westhampnett 2b 437
Hartfield Ellen Westhampnett 2b 437




You are going to have to use that information to BUY her marriage certificate.


That will tell you the name of her father, his occupation and where szhe was living at the time


THEN we might be able to help you.



To buy a certificate, go to the following. You have to register, but it is free. Then follow instructions.


Each certificate will cost £9.25

www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/


At some point you will be asked if you have the GRO reference number....... answer YES

That is the set of 2 numbers after the place name

Thank you everyone. I have managed to trace from Ellen's marriage forward and have ordered a copy of her marriage certificate, but I am finding in all searches that 'Hartfield' and 'Harfield' come up and I am not sure if this is the same lady or not. Thanks for all of your help
