Sarah Akehurst baptised 26th Feb 1786 Milton next Sittingbourne Kent
I have recently discovered this lady to be my 3x Great grandmother
The IGI gives her parents as Edward Akehurst & Frances
I have hit a brickwall as far as her parent's marriage is concerned & whether she had any siblings
Can anybody help please?
Thanks

Thanks for this
It appears that the spelling of the surname caused my problem
The batch number of the marriage is M15179-1 not M01680-5

I found the marriage on familysearch https://familysearch.org/#start by searching Edward Akehurst as you had specified with spouse Frances, familysearch found the alternative surname. This also worked for me on the IGI site https://familysearch.org/search/collection/igi .
The entry I found with Frances name as Swain does have the batch number M01680-5 that I stated. The batch number you are quoting is from entering the site from the IGI link (above) and relates to the Frances Swan entry, this entry on the site I looked at has the batch number as I05439-3.
