1805 Odell marriage - John Drage & Sarah Smith

[sbell95]

I am seeking a copy of the (potentially second) parish marriage of my ancestor John Drage to Sarah Smith in Odell, Bedfordshire, on 30 October 1805.

I am looking for the parents of John’s son, Joseph, born in Bozeat (near Odell, in the neighbouring county of Northamptonshire) about 1807 - a lot of online trees have him connected with a different John Drage (probably a relation of some sort, though) who married Hannah Nichols. My John was apparently married to an Esther and had children before the 1805 marriage - but I can’t find a burial for her… and there seems to be a child of theirs baptised after John would have remarried!

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Marriage 30 Oct 1805 Odell
John Drage to Sarah Smith
Groom's parish – Bozeat
Brides' parish - Odell


Baptism of Joseph Drage 7 June 1807 in Bozeat to parents John and Sarah

[Neale1961]

Children of John and Esther Drage baptised in Bozeat
Esther 1796
James 1798
Thomas 1800
Catherine 1805

Looks as if Esther Drage died in Bozeat in 1820 (age 58)

I don't believe her husband John is the same one who married Sarah Smith.
