Samuel Fairey/Farey married Mary Robinson at Lavendon on 10 Oct 1804. On 1841 census Mary age 60 was living in Lavendon with chlidren? Ann, George & Eliz.
I'd like to know if the marriage entry says anything about where Samuel was from, as there is a suggestion he was from Felmersham
thanks in advance, John

I see the marriage was by licence, are these held anywhere do you know ?
Samuel seems to have died prior to 1841 as on that census in Lavendon is Mary Farey age 60, daughter Ann age 25 & son George 1823, there is also an Elizabeth age 5
It is suggested to me that Samuel was son of John Fairey & Elizabeth Barnes who married in Felmersham in Oct 1781; & Samuel's baptism there on 22 July 1792 . But I dispute that, as unless his baptism was late & the PR does not state his age, he'd be only 12 at the marriage.
cheers John

I will ask about the marriages lic next time I go... depends who's in as to how much help I get. Burials ... forgot to look but as I am still following a few minor leads on some of mine I can slip in another visit to look.
