      Hello Paul

      Yes, I do have the details. John Thomas and Martha were married in St Mary's church, Selling, on 30 August 1865. The page number is 66, but no entry number.

      The bride 's parish is Selling but the groom's parish is not given. The groom is a gardener but his father's name is not given. The bride's father is John Dixon , Bailiff. They both signed the register. There are no details of witnesses or vicar.

      Next time I go to the archives (in a fortnight's time) I will check to make sure that I haven't missed any details.
      the entry number is 131
      he was a bachelor, she was a spinster
      they were both of full age
      his parish was Wittersham
      his father's was Thomas Featherstone, a labourer
      they both signed the register
      one witness was John Dixon but the other is unclear
      the vicar was G Beardsworth

      Best wishes
