Look up in Stevington

[Rossi327]

I am looking to find details of Emma Church, and her parentage, from the Stevington Parish, without buying a certificate.

She married in 1871 and the census places her and the groom there. Her Husband is Edward Vaughan of Birmingham. Could this be confirmed in the parish records for me please?

Also there are two Emma Church's born in the Bedford district around the same time. Again could the parish records be checked for her birth?

Thanks in advance.

Don't have parish records but this may help?
In the 1881 census RG11/3223/19/29 Emma says she was born Bramham/Bromham Beds. 1854 It is Edward and Emma's son William F age 9 who says  born Stevington in this census..

In 1861 census there are two Emma Church . One who's whole family says born Pavenham Beds. the other (yours?) is born Bramham/Bromham. Both come under the reg district of Bedford.
RG9/990/17/6
Village Green Bromham
Elijah Church 39 ag lab
Edith 37
Nancy 11
Sarah 9
Emma 6
Thomas 3
All born Bramham

Emma Church who married Edward Vaughan gives her p.o.b. (before & after marriage) as Bromham Beds
There is an Emma Church of similar age gives her p.o.b. as Pavenham Beds
(both are within Bedford reg district)

I can supply census info if required for Emma b. Bromham with her paarents & siblings??

apologies if I am double posting

Stevington,Beds.UK.
My Hopkins ancestors probably lived here at marriage and after. William Hopkins was born in 1697 in Leighton Buzzard and married Elizabeth Bell. Please can anyone let me know any Hopkins or Bell events that are in the Stevington registers. Thanks Trevor Hopkins

Welcome to Rootschat.

Stevington baptisms and marriages are extracted onto the IGI at www.familysearch.org , so it's something that can be easily done yourself. There are 21 Hopkins burials in Stevington in the period 1621 to 1770. After marriage did they live in Stevington?  How have you linked the Leighton Buzzard  birth to a marriage in Stevington? There are no Bell burials in Stevington after 1619

But I can't see a William Hopkins/Elizabeth Bell marriage in Beds. When and where did it take place?

You'd have been better starting a new topic rather than tacking your query onto an unrelated thread.

There were two William Hopkins baptised in 1697 in Beds - Leighton Buzzard on 20 Aug 1697, and Stevington on 2 Dec 1697 (both taken from the IGI). If you're descended from one of the children of William and Elizabeth who were baptised in Stevington, I know which of the two William's baptised in 1697 I'd choose. And it's not the Leighton Buzzard one!

Although there are some Church family names this does not list marriage of Emma Church to Edward Vaughan

[StevenG]

The Edward Vaughan/Emma Church marriage definitely did not take place in a C of E church; this can be deduced from the GRO index number (787, Register Office/non-conformist marriages start at 779 for that quarter).

Unless the marriage occurred in a non-conformist chapel that has deposited its registers, which few have, the only way to find the marriage details is to buy the certificate.
