Marie / Mousey:
I have been checking through various Essex parish records on a wild goose chase for some Stevens's - I came across some Spurgeons as I went, and remembered seeing the name on this thread so I noted the facts down in case they're of use:
Dedham, 1788 July 17
William Spurgeon of Stratford in the county of Suffolk (bachelor) married Mary Branston of Dedham (widow).
Stanway, 1882 December 23
James Spurgeon, labourer, 21 of Stanway (father = Joseph William Spurgeon, labourer) married Emma Everitt, 19 of Stanway (father = William Everitt, labourer). Witnesses were Frederick William Everitt and Fanny Spurgeon.
Stanway, 1883 May 5
Frederick William Everitt, labourer of Stanway (father = William Everitt) married Fanny Spurgeon of Stanway (father = Joseph William Spurgeon). Witnesses were William Spurgeon and Alice Goody.
cheers,
James
