Note: as these are archived versions some of the links may no longer work, but
the original site contained Marriages at
Willington, 1698-1812 (separate web pages for Brides and Grooms).
- Nigel Batty-Smith's site of
United Kingdom Genealogy has scanned images of
Marriages at Willington, 1698-1812
(from Phillmore's Derbyshire Parish Registers - Marriages, Volume 6).
- Dave Harris has an excellent
Willington Web Site.
There are some exellent photographs of Willington today (including
Churches), with comprehensive notes on Willington Village history,
and more. Very well worth a visit.
