There's a marriage showing on the Pedigree Resource File of FamilySearch, but not on what used to be the IGI. I don' trust Pedigree Resource File!
24 May 1708 at Bedford St Paul. John Robinson and Ann Day.
If anyone has the transcript or is going into Bedford Library, I'd be very grateful for a lookup in the transcript to see if the marriage is real. If it says they were of Roxton it would be a bonus!
Many thanks in advance
David (quiet these days but still alive!)

Hello David
Glad to hear that you are still with us.....
The Beds FHS Surname Index CD has a marriage entry at Bedford St.Paul's in 1708 for Jn Robinson & for Ann Day, but it does not give anything extra such as abode or status.
I'm going into town tomorrow so will check out the PR transcript to see if it has more info...
Cheers John
... meanwhile back to the tennis....

The Beds FHS transcription doesn't have any more info.
Transcriptions for other entries around the same time do include notes and also note whether a person was from another parish, so I'd guess the register entry for John and Ann doesn't have any more info.

As Cuffie says there is no further detail on that 1708 St.Paul's marriage...
It would have been convenient if it said 'of Roxton' to tie in with the baptisms there of children of John & Ann Robinson from 1709 - 1719
Take care...
Cheers John

Thanks very much John and Cuffie. I'll settle for confirmation of the marriage and take a flier that they were the couple who baptised children in Roxton!
Thanks again
David
