I'm looking for the marriage of Robert King and Elizabeth b. <1783>. They resided in the Melbourn area. Their son Frederick was born <1817>. Other children were Sarah 1811,Susanna 1808 and David 1812. I'm stuck on Robert and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a baker in the 1841 Census. Robert was already gone. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi there
Just found this on www.freereg.org.uk
Marriage of Robert KING and Elizabeth Wright 24 May 1817 at St Agnes Church, Papworth
Notes: marriage by license, brides parish St. Andrew, Holborn, London. (I assume Robert was of the parish of Papworth!
Is this your Robert and Elizabeth? perhaps!
Regards, Graham

The BVRI shows the following children of Robert and Elizabeth:
William born 15 April 1806, christened 21 Sept 1806
Susanna born 21 May 1808 chr 9 Oct 1808
Sarah born 24 March 1810 chr 14 Apr 1811
then none of the others in the 1841 census are shown as christened in Melbourn.
I wonder if they may have joined a non conformist church as there's a burial on the burial index at http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html
of Robert King at Melbourn Independent
Hopefully someone will have access to Boyds Marriage Index which may show the marriage in 1806 or before
The 1817 marriage seems a bit too late and there's a baptism to Robert and Elizabeth of Comberton at Papworth St Agnes in 1818 on the baptism index on the same Cambs FHS site mentioned above
