Northamptonshire / 1856 Wm Westley & Sarah Hollyer, Marriage, church/venue?
« on: Sunday 06 November 22 00:41 GMT (UK) »
William Westley, School Master, born Northampton, was buried at Northampton 28th April 1857, abode "Branston" age 72 and Sarah Westley his first Wife had died 1849, aged 69, abode Wellington Street, Northampton.
Death Certificate, William Westley, died 23rd April 1857 at Braunston, in the Sub-district of Daventry, aged 72 yrs, Occupation Gentleman.
Using William Westley's abode given at burial, his Death Certificate, Free BMD Index pages and the 1861 Census (below) I managed to work out that William Westley seemingly went on to marry in 1856 Sarah Hollyer of Braunston, Daventry, the year before his death at Braunston on 23rd April 1857, Braunston in the Sub-district of Daventry.
Sarah Hollyer in the Census
1851 High Street, Braunston.
Frederick H. Hollyer, Head, U, 25, Canal Clerk, Middlesex, Stepney.
Sarah Hollyer, Mother, W, 60, Housekeeper, Middlesex, Islington.
1861 High Street, Braunston, Daventry.
Sarah Westley, Head, W, 74, Seamstress, Middlesex, Islington.
Been through Daventry BT and Braunston, Northamptonshire, Church Register online Marriages for 1856, page by page on Anc., but nothing yet.
Before I order a copy Marriage, I wondered please, if there are any other sources as to where the marriage took place?
Of course it may be a Registry Office or Nonconformist marriage not online.
