Help with translating a Marriage certificate - 30 June 1866 -Cannot read parish

MattieH

Thank you for any help or insights translating the handwriting from this marriage certificate. Below is what I think it states, with many words unknown. I appreciate it, thank you, Mattie

This is the marriage certificate for Valentine Zalotynski and Ann Mary Pavey 30 June 1866.

General Register Office, London, Certified copy of an Entry of Marriage, Given at the General Registrer Office, London; application number G001596; Marriage solemnized at the the Parish Church, in the Parish of Purbury in the County of ?

Record number 217, dated 30 June 1866, Valentine Zalotynski and Ann Mary Pavey.

I went on FreeBMD.org.uk to search for the index of this marriage. The registrations district is in the county of Kent. Parish is Pembury. Genuki.org.uk lists all the parishes for each county and Pembury fits best with the handwriting.

Hope this helps.

Dear Kathleen,

What a great help! Thank you for your efforts and time. I appreciate it.

I agree with Kathleen.

There are three ways to resolve these situations. For both, find the registration district. Genuki not only lists parishes in a county but also lists parishes within a registration district. See

https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/

You can do the same using a program called UK Parish Finder

A third way is, using the GRO reference number, go to

However, this database is not complete.

This is very helpful. Can anyone help me interpret the handwriting for the remainder of the document? I cannot understand what is written very well.

I appreciate it, thank you, Mattie

The entry shows Valentine was a carpenter of Wandsworth whose father was Joseph, a farmer, and Ann Pavey (as previously stated) was of Pembury, whose father Stephen was a parish clerk. Both are shown to be single persons and of "Full age" - meaning they were over the age of 21.

Please come back with anything else which is unclear.

There is an 1881 census record of them and their children (not transcribed perfectly well!) at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27D-S7F6, screenshot below:
