Desperately looking for Richard Hurrell b 1825-1829 in Stapleford Abbotts, Essex. Think father may be Samuel. Should be so grateful if you could look for Samuel's marriage probably round 1812-1820 in Essex. Many thanks

Penny, Thank you for looking up John Abbott. Sorry for the delay in replying as I have been at work all day. I do not think it is my one as they were married between 1866 and 1869. Daughter Ada born 1870 Lambeth. Shirley

Joanne You are quite right, sorry. There is no marriage listed with Sarah Parkes, a few Sarahs but the wrong surname. Sorry Penny

Siobhan The VRI can cover from 1500 to the latest I've seen was 1904. It is a very sketchy covering in some counties, others quite good. Certainly not all are listed - very hit and miss I'm afraid. Penny
