Hi

I have found on Family Search a marriage for Samuel Rudge and Mary Lighham taking place on 7 Nov 1809 at St Phillips, Birmingham.  Can someone please look this up for me. Were there any witnesses on the marriage?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

Hello All,

I am trying to see if I can get more information (and determine the parents of my 4x great grandfather). Here is what I have found via familysearch:

I believe this to be his marriage record:
Groom's Name:    Samuel Rudge
Bride's Name:    Mary Lighham
Marriage Date:    07 Nov 1809
Marriage Place:    Saint Phillips,Birmingham,Warwick,England

I believe this to be the baptism of Samuel Rudge but how do I confirm:
Name:    Samuel Rudge
Gender:    Male
Baptism/Christening Date:    05 Jun 1789
Baptism/Christening Place:    SAINT MARTIN,BIRMINGHAM,WARWICK,ENGLAND
Father's Name:    William Rudge
Mother's Name:    Catharine

Thanks,
Bill

Hello,

Using a lot of information from this and other websites, I have been able to build a family tree back to the mid 1800s. I was hoping I could get some help from anyone living in the area with parish records for the following individuals. I am trying to find the family of my 3x Great Grandfather John Rudge. I do know his fathers name was Samuel from his GRO record. I found the following information on familysearch.org (Batch # C010243): possible brother/sisters and John Rudge himself:

Gender: Female Marriage: 22 OCT 1856 Tring, Hertford, England
Spouse: John Gill
Possible GRO for Marriage:
Dec 1856 District: Berkhampstead Vol: 3a Page: 454

I did find this family in the 1851 England census but how do I know if it is my 3x Great Grandfathers family or the wrong John Rudge:
HO107/2084/576 p 41
I do see some similarities between occupations (Boatsman)

I also found this (using batch #M041791)
Samuel Rudge
Marries Mary Lighham (07 NOV 1809      Saint Phillips, Birmingham, Warwick, England) - could these be John Rudge's parents?

I'd really like to break the barrier into the 1700's and continue my research, but don't want to just make assumptions and go down the wrong paths.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I'm afraid I'm from the States and don't know much about England geography. It hampers my research not knowing if towns/counties are near each other, but I will look into Sutton Warwick. Thanks for the help.
