If any kind soul could look up the following marriage that I found on Pallot's Index on Ancestry, I would be most grateful.
Sarah Bacon & John Bissell, 1817, St Jas. Clerkenwell
I'm hoping they might be my great x4 grandparents, known to me only from IGI baptism records of their children. The first child that I know of is Elizabeth Bissell, born 15 Dec 1817, bapt. 8 Feb 1818, Finsbury, Middx. A marriage in the first half of 1817 would be highly suggestive of a link.
From the marriage certificate of their daughter Sarah Ann Bissell to William Ettridge in 1847, I know that John Bissell was a smith and was dead by 4th July 1847. His wife, Sarah (surname unknown), is on the 1841 census in St Luke's Finsbury (HO107/666/7; enum. district 16, p. 47) which suggests a year of birth c. 1796, but not in county.
Unless the St James Clerkenwell registers are unusually packed with useful information, even if this Sarah Bacon & John Bissell are my two, I don't know that I'll be able to get any further back: there are 74 Sarah Bacons on the IGI born/baptised within five years of the 1796 suggested by the 1841 census!
Unfortunately all their (known to me) children were born before civil registration, so I can't get a birth certificate to check mother's maiden name.

Thanks Dawn.
Very good of you to look that up for me. Much appreciated.
One of those where it seems quite likely, but there's no real evidence, that they're my people.

True!
If only I could work that out. It's not helped by Sarah Bissell only appearing on the 1841 census (in Finsbury) and being shown as not born in county.
On the IGI, there's a Sarah Bacon, daughter of Joseph & Mary Bacon bapt. 27 Aug 1799 in Radbourne, Derbyshire and an Esther Bacon, also a daughter of a Joseph & Mary Bacon bapt. 23 Aug 1805 in Belper & Heage, Derbyshire.
Can't see a marriage of an Esther Bacon to a Compton on the IGI though, nor an Esther Bissell to a Compton.
Annoying ...
On the up-side the only other John & Sarah Bissell in the London/Middlesex area on the 1841 looks unlikely to be these two marrying in 1817.

Esther born 1805 would have only been 12 in 1817 so unlikely to have been married at that time
