Volunteer transcript of the Matching St Mary the Virgin registers, searched through the FreeREG public interface. Baptisms, marriages and burials are all transcribed across 1760-1875, the period used here; the transcriber credits are quoted on each citation. FreeREG has no per-parish landing page, so the url above is the transcription of the 1805 Saville-Peacock marriage, the anchor entry for this parish. Matching lies about two miles east of High Laver and four miles south of Hatfield Heath.

For William Lambert & Rebecca Peacock

County Essex | Place Matching | Church name St Mary the Virgin | Register type Parish Register | Register entry number 41 | Marriage date 19 Feb 1820 | Groom forename William | Groom surname LAMBERT | Groom parish This Parish | Groom condition bachelor | Bride forename Rebecca | Bride surname SAVILL | Bride parish This Parish | Bride condition widow | Witness1 Mary LAMBIRT | Witness2 Thomas LAMBERT | Transcribed by Arnold Webb | Credit Arnold Webb | File line number 41

The union recorded on the family. Quality 2 because identifying this Rebecca Savill with our Rebecca Peacock is an inference - the register gives no maiden name - resting on the parish, the widowhood, the five-year interval after John's burial, and the 1869 burial of a Rebecca Lambert of Matching aged 88.
