Edmund Leach Marriage

[mgeneas]

On familysearch.org is a marriage at Souldrop in 1832 between Edmund LEACH and Elizabeth JAMES.
I suspect that this is the Edmund and Elizabeth who lived after their marriage in Wollaston, Northants.

Please could someone with access to the original record see if there is any additional information.

I looked on Ancestry and Find My Past, but there is no further info

Thanks MaryMc- hoping someone has access to the full transcript or the original pr

Are the Edmund & Elizabeth that you are looking at in Wollaston in 1851 with children Mary Ann, Eliza (10) & George W (1)   

If so Georges birth cert would confirm mothers maiden name 
A possibility
Births Sep qtr 1849 
George William Leach

Do you have the Family in 1841 Census?

It looks like to me that Edmund is with his Mother in 1841 in Wollaston;
Edmond Leach, 30, Ag Lab
Elizabeth Leach, 76

I cant find a Edmund with Wife Elizabeth and Children Maryann/Eliza in 1841

As there is such a large gap in Childrens ages could he have married 2 Elizabeths?

Also I can find only 2 Baptisms to Edmund/Elizabeth in Wollaston;
MARY ANN, 26 May 1833
JULIA, 12 July 1835

So as Rosie suggested I would get the Birth Cert of George W

Thanks Rosie and Trish. This is not a direct line so I really don't want invest in the birth certificate.

I am pretty sure that Edmund is the sibling of James Leach born about 1808 who doesn't seem to have been baptized but always claims in the census to have been born in Wollaston. He fits nicely into the gap in baptisms.

I will probably order the film for Souldrop to check the marriage of Edmund and Elizabeth if no one is able to do a lookup.

Thanks JohnP, I finally remembered to check the Northants marriage strays index which is online and it does confirm that Edmund Leach was 'of Wollaston'. But if you could see who the witnesses are that would be a great help - maybe!

I have discovered that Edmund got into trouble for stealing food (1853 I think) I found it on find my past, and after that he disappears. I think that our James born about 1808 is a brother of Edmund.
