William CHURCH marriage lookup please

[Demeter]

Could anyone look up a marriage record for William CHURCH please?

He married someone called Susannah, and I'm trying to find her maiden name. 

The only clue as to date and parish I have is that I believe their first child, Susannah CHURCH, born around 1801, possibly in Fleggburgh (this from census records)

Any help would be much appreciated

Sorry to anyone who had read this already - his name is William, not Thomas

No sign of the marriage on Freereg, IGI or NFHS marriage index 1801-1837. You need a look up of the Burgh St Margaret marriages register, or if it is not found there, you could try the banns register.

Maybe a bit early but the only one I could find

Freethorpe  5 Apr 1790

Church  William bach

Shreeve  Susanna spin

Wits John Fearman and Martha Spawl

Thanks Eileen & Peggy,

The Church/ Shreeve marriage could be it.  I don't know if there were any other children, so maybe Susannah had older brothers & sisters.

I do know that on the 1841 census, there was a William & Susannah Church living in Freethorpe.  Would you know if that's near to Fleggburgh?

I would say its about 6-8 miles away

FreeReg shows a son Stephen was baptised 15/4/1808 Freethorpe, son of William Church and Susannah Shreeve.

Thanks Annette & Eileen,

Freethorpe doesn't seem too far away - it could well be the Churches I'm looking for. 

The son called Stephen is a little odd as I haven't come across the name anywhere else in the tree and they seemed to carry the same names down through the generations.  It doesn't mean that they're not susannah's parents though.

I have a Mary Church who married John Clarke in 1785 in Wickhampton which is next to Freethorpe. Do you know if there is any connection to your William?
