Marriage lookup please for Sam MESSENT & Sarah FOWLE - Completed

[RedLadybug]

Hi,
I would be very grateful if someone could lookup the Marriage of Sam MESSENT and Sarah FOWLE

They should have married about 1814 possibly in the St Georges region. Samuel and Sarah's first known child, Elizabeth, was born circa 1814, place unknown. Their second child, Mary, was born circa 1815 in St Georges, Middlesex. Samuel MESSENT was born circa 1788 in Weatherfield, Essex and Sarah (maiden name unknown) was born circa 1793 in Barnes, Middlesex.

Thanks,
RedLadybug

Oh, hugs, Karenlee! That's my great, great grandmother and I've never found her actual place of birth! That's wonderful.

You wouldn't happen to be able to look up the rest of the family would you? If so, I'll list all the one's I know - there's 11 of them in total from Elizabeth in 1814 to Letitia in 1836.

Hugs,

Not finding anymore baptisms with the resources that I have access to sorry.  There are a couple of possible marriages though if you would like them...

Thanks for checking, anyway, and yes, I'd love the marriages.

I think there should be 4, maybe 5. The whole family except Joseph, I think, emigrated to Adelaide, South Australia by 1861, some even before 1841 so finding them in censuses is impossible!

I have:
Elizabeth m 1833 William Henville BURFORD
Benjamin m 1849 Mary Ann KNIGHT
Eliza m 1854 Samuel STOKES
Jemima m 1851 Thomas Temlett BROWN
Joseph m 1853 Margaret Gotham BARBER
