Title: Aaron Mansfield, Frances Moss?
Post by: bugbear on Friday 19 December 25 12:09 GMT (UK)
I'm working on an Elizabeth Mansfield, b1835(ish) in West Wratting.

Her father is given as Aaron Mansfield (on her marriage certificate), and this leads neatly to a 16 Dec 1838 baptism at St Andrew the Great, Cambridge.

The Parents are given as Aaron Mansfield and Frances Mansfield. Since the birth is after 1837, the GRO index can provide the MMN, and this turned out to be "Moss".

So I'm now trying (and failing) to find a marriage between Aaron Mansfield and Frances Moss.

Can anyone help?

Yes - the subsequent family story is not a happy one, and hard to trace since poor rootless people tend to leave less clear traces than wealthy stable people.
