James married Eliza Robinson on 9 June 1829 at All Saints Kempston.

As David and John plus others will say most of Bedfordshire P.R. are
transcribed here upto 1812 and further.

It should help you follow backwards and of course Blars link  also and many others
listed under Bedfordshire Resources above.

On the 1851 Kempston Census
H.O. 107/1751 District 2b Pg 6 Folio 444 Sch 21 Bell End

All born Kempston

James Musgrove Head Mar 42 Ag Lab
Eliza Wife Mar 41 Lacemaker
Levi 18 Son U Ag Lab
Samuel 15 Son Ag Lab
Joseph 13 Son Ag Lab
Elizabeth Daur 10 Lacemaker
Frederick Son 8 Ag Lab
Mary Daur 6 Lacemaker
John Son 4 Scholar
Ann Daur 1

That clears up Eliza's age then as she may not have a child of 12 although the
1841 census image shows 25 clearly.

Noted as being 41 is more acceptable for marrying in 1829.
