Title: Marriage Look-Up Request
Post by: brix1961 on Thursday 08 February 07 15:58 GMT (UK)

Can anyone find a marriage please between Samuel Allen & a Jane sometime around 1820? She was born in Barrowby but their two eldest children were baptised in Grantham as per IGI.

Many thanks

Hi. There's no marriage record for a Samuel Allen in the Grantham deanery or in the neighbouring deaneries of Loveden and Beltisloe between 1813 and 1837.

Could they have been married in Nottinghamshire?

Nothing in Phillimores I'm afraid.

Thanks very much for looking, both of you. I'll have to have another look at Notts. 4 children born in Sneinton, Nottm, but couldn't find a marriage when I looked at registers. Guess I'll never find out what Jane's name was!

I've looked at the other deaneries in Lincolnshire and can only find a couple of other entries:
Samuel ALLEN (widower) married Mary Susanna CHRISTOPHER in 1831 at Market Deeping
Samuel ALLEN married Amy WARD in 1826 at Langtoft

A search on the IGI throws up two possibilties:
Samuel ALLEN married Jane ALLEN on 23rd May 1820 at Church Broughton, Derbyshire
Samuel ALLEN married Jane CHAMBERS on 11th Sept 1820 at Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire

The Melton Mowbray entry is a strong possibility as its is only 17.3 miles away from Barrowby, whereas Church Broughton is over 50 miles from Barrowby.
