where were they married and who were their parents

[kittykittykat]

JOHN SMITH  b 1933 in Horncastle lincs married SELINA ?? b 1832 born in Newmarket Cambridgeshire or Cambridge ( depending on which census)  I cant find the marriage.  I thought I had found it 1853 in Horncastle, with selinas father listed as William BURTON. and john as Samuel Smith.  however on further investigation they are the wrong family as  selina  Burton was born in Lincolnshire. 
The first child to the marriage was John smith born 1855 in Horncastle and they have 11 other children born in Tetford Lincolnshire
many thanks
Can anyone find the marriage and selina and johns parents
many thanks

What about the 1853 marriage in Horncastle - Fanny Selina Burton on same page

[jan57]

 1851   census

   Living  in Great  Sturton

Thomas Brackenbury 71
Martha Brackenbury 74
Fanny Burton 15     born Cambridge  house  servant
William Brownly 44



 I notice    on  one of the  cesus  there's a  daughter of John   and Selina     called Fanny S  Smith ,   so  the  marriage that  Carole found  seems  to fit ,   and to  avoid   confusion   the mother  used  her second name  of Selina 

[kittykittykat]

in the 1841 census William and Mary burton( both born Horncastle) have a child named selina who it states was born in Horncastle.    the marriage in 1853 seems to pertain to this selina.

 MY selina in the 51.61.71.81.91.01,and 11 census all state she was born in Cambridgeshire. but I cant find her in 1841 census

  There is this  one   
  Father John  is a Coach  smith    his wife  is  Susanna,   all the family  are  born  ' out  of county'  except  the youngest    (aged  2 )  Fanny is  aged 9   so circa 1832

in the 1841 census William and Mary burton( both born Horncastle) have a child named selina who it states was born in Horncastle.

The 1841 does not show specific birthplaces - just whether they were born in the county in which they were living

Have you obtained a copy of one of their childrens birth certs to determine Selina's maiden name ?

[kittykittykat]

thanks for all your help. I will order the certificates
