Can anyone do a look up of these, for me please? Any help gratefully received!
I am looking to confirm an IGI entry at Woburn. Baptism of Susan(nah) Fa(u)nch on 12 Jul 1812. Will also give parents names and occupation, etc?
Also her (second) Marriage to William Tom(m)s 11 Oct 1844 (IGI again) in Leighton Buzzard. She may be married under the name of Coleman, from her first marriage?
She appears to have had 3 children after this (Mary 1844/5, William 1847/8, Reuben Aug 1850 (Reuben had probably died by 1861 census) and Ann 1853 (or 55?). All say born Leighton Buzzard. Children based on 1851/61.
William Toms died between 1851 - 1861?
She had previously married in Gt Brickhill (Bucks) a Robert Coleman on 11 Nov 1829, which would have made her only 17. He died before the 1841 Census and Susan had remarried (William Toms) as above. I couldn't find any of them in 1871 at the FRC?

Welcome to Rootschat!
I don't have Woburn transcript so can't answer your specific question re Susanna's baptism. You should be aware though that whilst all of Beds pre 1812 has been transcribed and is fairly easily checked, post 1812 is a different matter, and whilst some libraries may have the microfilms of the parish registers in their catchment area, in many cases it means a trip to Bedford to the Records Office (not open on a Saturday)
But the baptism of Susan Faunch on 12 July 1812, daughter of Richard and Mary, is extracted from the parish register, so is reliable. Similarly the marriage of Susannah Fanch to Robert Coleman on 11 Nov 1829 at Leighton Buzzard has also been extracted from the parish register (where did the Gt Brickhill, Bucks information come from?)
The 1844 marriage is a member submission so you are right to check it. It's on Freebmd in the Dec quarter 1844 in Leighton Buzzard registration district where two of the eight parties are Susan Coleman and William Toms. The marriage certificate should state that Susan was formerly Faunch and it will give her father's name.
FreeBMD has a death of a Robert Coleman in the March quarter 1840 in Newport Pagnell registration district (which includes Gt Brickhill which is where Susan and children were living in 1841
What perplexes me is that she gave her age as 30 not born in Bucks in 1841 (ie born June 1806 - May 1811); 44 born Woburn in 1851 and 56 born Leighton Buzzard in 1861, which doesn't fit well with a birth on 22 June 1812.
Regards
David

FreeBMD coverage is virtually complete now, at least in the 19th century, so I find it invaluable.
The death/burial discrepancy is strange - I've checked the image and it's definitely the March quarter
It's not so much the age differences between censuses - what surprises me is that the implied birth is consistently well before 1812.
That it was Susan Coleman who married William Toms is established by the various Toms/Coleman children in the 1851 census, and the Coleman/Susan marriage also seems to be pretty sound. Very mysterious!
I would be tempted to get the Coleman death cert and the 1844 marriage cert just to confirm everything

Hi & Welcome Nick.
Just to add to John & Davids entries I looked at the marriage cert in 1844 for William Tom & Susan.
11 Oct 1844 at the aprish church.
William Toms bach of full age father William Toms
Suasan Coleman widow of full age father Richard Faunch carpenter.
witnesses John Smith
Maria Faunch.
So that seems to confirm it then?
