I am trying to find the parents of a Sarah Giddings, born about 1816, according to the census's she was born in London. She married a John Jaques in 1835 at St Martin -In-The-Fields, Westminster. On the Banns the witness's were a Joseph Giddings and a Rebekah Giddings. I have tried these two as parents but came up with nothing, so they could be her siblings. She died in 1890 in Barnet. I have looked on Find my Past, and Family Search although I never seem to have much success with FindMyPast.
There appears to be a lot of Giddings from Wiltshire so am not discounting that she came from there, and just put London on the census's.
I have all other info just her birth/Baptism I am having trouble with.
Many thanks
