My great grandfather Isaac Hedges was born in Wingrave on 5 June 1861 to Samuel Hedges and his wife Martha (possibly Arnold). I found them, plus his sister Ellen, on the 1881 Census (although Isaac is listed as Henry Isaac on that one) but I can't find any reference to Samuel and Martha's marriage.
I'm wondering if the parents made it on to the 1861 census, to give a 'before' date for their marriage and where they were living, or if they are identifiable on any other census. Samuel was an agricultural labourer, born around 1833 and Martha was born around 1831 (these dates based on info in 1881 census).
Isaac married Margaret Bailey in Wingrave in 1883 and they came to Australia in 1888 (they had one daughter in England and my grandmother was then the first of their children born in Australia).
Also - and please excuse my ignorance - how close is Wingrave to Aylesbury?
Thank you

It actually helps a lot, Ruth - thank you for doing that.
The occupations lead me to another point - finding out what a straw plaiter did/does (besides the obvious two word answer given by my husband and children).
Uncovering ancestors whose occupations were things like cordwainers and silk piecers and straw plaiters gives me glimpses into social history which are really fascinating; and I'm now doing as much trying to get descriptions of the places and times so we end up with more than names and dates.
