	A search at http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl turns up: Marriages Dec 1851 (>99%) COLLINGWOOD Caroline Faversham 5 349 Epps Sarah Faversham 5 349 GILBERT Francis Faversham 5 349 HARRIS William Faversham 5 349 Jemmett Charles Faversham 5 349 JONES George Richard Faversham 5 349 TAYLOR Ann Faversham 5 349 WILMOT Lucy Faversham 5 349 However, we don't know from this who wed whom, just the names of the people whose m.certs are on the same page. One can buy a BMD cert from the GRO, or from the local office that now holds the regos. Some offices have their local indexes (at least partly) online - see the links at: http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/local_bmd in particular http://www.kent.gov.uk/KCC.ROIS.Web.Sites.Public/Pages/Default.aspx A look up there gets: Name GILBERT, Francis Year Of Marriage 1851 Entry Number 101 Register 93/1 Location Name COLLINGWOOD, Caroline Year Of Marriage 1851 Entry Number 101 Register 93/1 Location The ref parts says both names appear in entry # 101 of the 1st rego from church # 93 - this site doesn't say which church # 93 is - some do, but not here.
