A Bruntingthorpe marriage? 1816 George Arnold & Jane Southam?

[wendz]

Hi,

Please can somebody help me I am slightly confused.com!

I have the L&RFHS Leicester & Leicestershire Marriage Index 1801-1837 CD and on it have found George Arnold married Jane Southam 1816 in Bruntingthorpe. So off I troop to the LRO to have a look at the Microfiche and to my surprise they are not there or in Claybrook/Ullesthorpe!!

How odd! George was born in Ullesthorpe and Jane in Clifton Upon Dunsmore, Warwickshire but the CD definitely says 1816 Brt = Bruntingthorpe.

Am I being a bit thick or very short sighted? please can you help by telling me which? 

Many thanks

Thank you for looking, I'm guessing that's Thomas, Aminda and William?

Back to the drawing board............wonder where/if they married and wonder why the CD said Bruntingthorpe?

Hi there,

If you are looking for George Arnold, son of The Benedict Arnold,
I wonder if BRT stands for somewhere in India, or is an abbreviation of a military term? He was stationed in India and had first a native wife, then married an english woman.

Hope this helps!
