I would say a fairly strong possibility as that was the only John Eldridge and Mary marrying in Mayfield on the Sussex Marriage Index

Found this one which looks promising:

Extract from the Sussex Marriage Index:
Place: Mayfield, East Sussex, Date: 7 Feb 1759:
Subject: John ELDRIDGE
Spouse: Mary BOWRA

Smurf - go ahead, glad to be of help to you :o)

Smurf - They are read out before the marriage takes place.

Legal Preliminaries to marriage - what are banns?

Banns are an announcement of your intention to marry and a chance for anyone to put forward a reason why the marriage may not lawfully take place.

Banns need to be read in the parish where each of you lives as well as the church in which you are to be married if that is another parish.

You must have your banns read out in church for three Sundays during the three months before the wedding. This is often done over three consecutive Sundays but does not have to be.

Hope this helps

Giz

DB - Glad to be of help as over the years many people have helped me.

Bad news though as can't find this one in the Sussex Marriage Index.

Smurf - google church banns or have a look at the following link:

Smurf - can't find a marriage between James Martin and Mary Barnell. With regards the others will need more info as they are common names - can't just do a global search as way too many results.

Can't find a Samson Roberts. Nearest I could find was:

Extract from the Sussex Marriage Index:
Place: Salehurst, East Sussex, Date: 9 Jun 1817:
Subject: Samuel ROBERTS, 21
Spouse: Mary BOXALL, 25
Extra Information: Witness wits: Wm CRUTTENDEN; Jn HEATHFIELD

However, Salehurst and Slindon are quite far apart. Do you have any more info?

If you have a sec, I have a Samson Roberts and a Mary Boxall...they had children and I'm presuming they married. Mary was from Slindon, Sussex. xx

HI Giz thanks very much a great help .........GARY....

Hi Giz,

Do you have anything for a William Martin, born Sedlescombe, Sussex in 1809. I believe he may have married an Ann.

Regards

Ian

I will certainly bear that in mind. Thank you so much for your help it is much appreciated.

Juliet

Certs only came in in 1837 - before that it has to be the parishes. Just thought it might be useful or one of those that you put to one side and then ages later it suddenly clicks in place!!
