I am hoping that someone can assist me please. I am looking for the marriage record of Martha Marshall b. 1809 in Finchampstead and Henry Barker b. 1809 in Swallowfield. They were married on 8 July 1833 but I am not sure where. I thought perhaps St James may be the church as she was born there. I would also like to know the names of Martha's parents and any siblings she may have had. Maybe they were baptised at St James?
Many thanks

Hi Dawn
IGI (familysearch/record pilot)) does give some results. -
Martha Marshall bp. 16/10/1808 Finchampstead daughter of Moses and Fanny
Moses Marshall/Fanny Spencer married 21/4/1808 Finchampstead.
Henry Barker bp. 11/6/1809 Swallowfield son of James & Sarah Barker.
Sorry couldn't see marriage of Henry & Martha, but hope the above is of interest.
Regards

Hi Dawn
Henry Barker married Martha Marshall at All Saints, Swallowfield, Berkshire on 8 July 1833. Henry was a bachelor and Martha a spinster and they were both of the Parish. The witnesses were Thomas Barker and John Holt.
