Ah, now that's put a spanner in the works.....

That could well be a possible parents marriage.... May I ask where you found that record as I haven't found that in my on-line searches?

Many thanks

The 1800 marriage bond states that Edward Brittin is a saddler

Edward Brittin of Stony Stratford = Elizabeth Johnson otp spinster  1800 Feb 25 Courtenhall by licence
(Northants Marriage Index)

Bearcub, I found this marriage on the Northamptonshire Marriage Index CD -  http://www.familyhistorynorthants.co.uk/marriages.html - and given the father's name and the spelling of the surname I thought it may be relevant. I have just now checked the original on An***y in the Courteenhall registers ... both signed the register with their names, and the witnesses were Hannah Johnson and Richard Longman.

Thanks again - very helpful.

Mgeneas - could I ask where you have found that the 1800 Edward was a saddler? That is very interesting as one of my later Edward's (born 1833) was also a Harness Maker / saddler.....

I'm getting a bit tied up in knots as I think I now have 4 generations of Edward Brittin's!

I happen to have copies of all 1800 (one year only) marriage bonds (that is the application for a marriage licence). On that his occupation is given.

The Edwards could be cousins etc,

Thank you - that's really interesting.

I'm actually thinking that could be the marriage of the parents of my Edward born in 1810. (Grandfather of my Edward born 1833).

I guess if I went to the Northants Records Offices, they would have the bonds too?

Sorry for all the stupid questions; I've only just started dabbling in parish records and finding it all a bit confusing....

The record office has a card index of the marriage bonds as well as the originals.

Thank you. I think I'm going to have to plan a trip to the Norhants Records Office!
