Hi there,
I've discovered a marriage reference (Latter Day Saint record) between a William King and a Susanna Gulliver on 1 August 1825 in Banbury. Just wondered whether there are any more details contained on the record, like birth dates etc that might help me identify whether this William King is the one I'm after.
My William King was born in Farnborough in 1801 and he was married to a Susan who was from Banbury. I've never been able to get a last name for Susan and I'm hoping my search may be over.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Citygirl,
Do you have the 1851 census info for your William & Susan King. ? If not, here they are>>
1851 census
HO107/1742 folio 182 page 5
Holdenby House, Holdenby, Farnborough
William King age 50 Farmer 62 acres, 25 Labourers b Warwickshire, Farnborough
Susan M wife age 50 b Banbury
Susan M, dau age 22 b Farnborough
Samuel Gulliver son age 21 b ditto
William son age 19 b ditto
Emma dau age 18 b ditto
George son age 16 b ditto
Baptisms
Samuel Gulliver
13th Jan 1828 Fanborough
father William mother Susannah Mary
Emma
29th Mar 1831 Farnborough
father William mother Susannah Mary
George
2nd Mar 1834 Farnborough
father William mother Susannah Mary.
So, if you can identify this 1851 census family as your William & Susan M. King I think you can say that Susan M is Susannah Gulliver.
Hope this helps,
Meliora

Thanks to all for your help.
Yes I did have the census record for 1851 so bingo match. Very exciting. Thanks for the baptist records also - I didn't have these.
Thank you for the witnesses, I'm going to dig deeper now in that direction.
Marvellous!!!!

Hi citynzgirl, what would you like to known about this family as they're my family. I do the geneology for our side of the family and have a bit of information which I am willing to share. Susan is Susanna, her full name is Susanna Gulliver, her parents are Samuel and Mary Gulliver (they were Gentry in England, there are portraits of them in a museum in England - I have a copy of the portraits). She was married to my ggggrandfather William King. They owned estates in Naseby, Northhamptonshire, England. Their son Henry King (my gggrandfather) left England and travelled to New Zealand. We have a rather large family living here in New Zealand and I have a list of their names. I even have portraits of Susanna and William. Like I said I'm willing to share. Look forward to hearing from you.
