Title: DRAPER /HURFURT wedding at Market Lavington
Post by: John Hurfurt on Sunday 25 September 11 21:05 BST (UK)

I am trying to find details of a wedding between Sarah Grace DRAPER and George Hurfurt (or Herfeit or Herfert) According to a pedigree chart in the IGI !! it was at Market Lavington in 1833. Sarah's parents were William and Sarah nee Earl.

Many thanks for any help you can give

I am having trouble accessing at present and think I have found the Family in 1841 which no Family Tree has that I can see.
From the 1861 Census some of the Children are born Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, so the Marriage could be anywhere.

You need to find all the Children and their Christenings to confirm the possible time they Married.

Eg;
ELIZABETH Hurfurt, 29 September 1833, Weston, Somerset
Parents GEORGE and SARAH GRACE
JAMES Hurfurt, Age 20, Birth c 1838, Father GEORGE Married Maria DIXON,
25 Jan 1858, Weston, Somerset

Maybe someone can check out Elizabeth HERFORD born c 1833 living in Weston please if that can get access later :)
(I managed to get that up then dropped out)

Trish :)

Thanks Trish and Rosie,

Yes I have the 1841 Census as Rosie gives it. Elizabeth aged 8 in 1841 suggests the IGI date of 1833 for the wedding is not far out.
Elizabeth was born in Somerset,(1841 census) William in Cheltenham (1861 census) James in Somerset (1841 census) and Emily Cheltenham (1861 census) so they obviously moved around a bit.

Still no luck with where the wedding was.

John

Hi there

Can I just add what I have already suggested - that the marriage was not at Market Lavington. It just doesn't appear in records at all.

Best of luck
