Tong Marriage - Sutton Maddock

[lleansidhe]

Hi there, could anyone look up a marriage for Francis Tong on the 4th of July 1824 in Sutton Maddock, Shropshire?

The marriage is listed on familysearch.org and his wife is apparently Maria Doykes. However I feel that this hasn't been transcribed correctly. Doykes doesn't appear to be a genuine name and I'm wondering if it has been spelt incorrectly?
On various census records later on Maria is listed as being born in Shropshire, but several times in Manchester! I'd really love to know which it is!

Many thanks,

Lesley

Hi

The marriage record will not give you her birthplace.  Doykes is a surname - albeit not a particularly common one.  Purely as an example - have a look at this IGI entry - extracted record

Mary Doykes  Christening:  16 SEP 1816   Wrenbury, Cheshire,
Father:  Joseph Doykes    Mother:  Anne Doykes

Ahh, more Doykes! Maybe it is correct then! I'll start hunting for Doykes in Shropshire and Manchester

Thank you for replying
