Church Family in Wymington, Bedford

[Nad81]

In fact... i think a entire part of my tree may be wrong.. i have Joseph Gilbert (b.1794) married to Sarah Desborough (b.1796)... but, this info was taken from someone elses tree..

Thanks for that info... i am going to wade back through now, to verify or disprove what i have

Other peoples' trees need taking with a pinch of salt - I have fallen foul of this myself in the past.  OK take a look at what they say but always verify the facts.

There is a tree on Anc* I was looking at earlier that has Joseph Perkins & Elizabeth Gilbert but no marriage details & has assumed she is Elizabeth Gilbert born 1789 Oakley which is not correct

[Nad81]

right... i am caught up - i think! lol!

The Desboroughs/Gilberts crop up in several other points on the tree... that was what was confusing me, there is another Desborough/Gilbert marriage on a different branch... which confused me, must remember to keep them seperate in my mind!

Thank you

Well if you want to spend £9.25 of your money on one certificate that's OK with me but why not visit the Beds Archives & view the same certificate for Free (& pay just a small fee to get it printed), & seeing as I did earlier today there are numerous marriages in Wymington of your family members you will save yourself a fortune. Also you cannot buy certificates for marriages before 1837 - because there weren't any, but the marriage entry info is available from the parish records.

Where is the Beds Archive? In Bedford i am assuming... i shall try and get there, trouble is i have one preschool child, and one reception year child, so free time is not very plentiful, taking them with me is not a good idea lol!, and i dont drive... so it'd have to be public transport to get there.

I have managed to con my father into taking a drive over to Wymington next week, to have a look round the old graveyard, and perhaps learn some dates/info from the stones, and the positioning of them... if there are any relevant ones there

The Beds Archives is, yes, in Bedford, a short walk from bus station

WOW I am away for a couple of days and look what happens

Who is the mother/parents of Annie Lucretia Chuch b 1870 Podington who is grand-daughter to Stephen Gilbert & Charlotte Chuch on the 1871 census living in Podington along with unmarried daughter Mary.

Who also appears on the 1881 census as grand-daughter to Stephen & Charlotte now living in Rushden with now married daughter Mary & husband Jesse Partridge & their children. Annie is positioned on the image as if she is a child of Jesse & Mary.

There is a birth index for her in Dec 1869 but I cannot find her baptism.

Also there is a marriage index in Wellingborough RD in Dec 1888 & she seems to have married George Roddis as they are in Rushden on 1891 census with widow/boarder Charlotte Church - her grandmother. I'd like to see that marriage certificate to see who is her father.
