Have a good evening David...

So it looks like Charles Frost was perhaps working for his uncle Charles Ault of Leighton Buzzard.
 
FYI .. Beds Archives online database has a reference to Charles Ault (BO1333) dated 1805 regarding a Covenant for common land in Heath & Reach & another to Hannah Ault (BO1334) dated 1814 regarding an Agreement on the same area.

Cheers John

I agree John, although between 1813 when Charles Ault died and 1824 possibly working for Charles' widow Hannah. More likely I feel than working for a local farmer

The marriage is on the IGI at www.familysearch.org as being on 12 Oct 1821, not 1820, at Woburn. Who were the witnesses and what were the parishes of residence shown as?

From the BFHS transcript:
12 Oct 1821
Charles Frost, of Leighton Buzzard
Margaret Bull [no abode in transcription]
Witnesses: Jonas West, Wm. Hall; by banns

William Hall was a witness at numerous other marriages. I can't find any other references to Jonas West in the Woburn parish transcripts nor in the BFHS surname index.

There's only one other marriage in the Woburn transcripts for 'Frost' but it could be completely unrelated. There are no burials or baptisms.
Marriage:
21 Nov 1800
Wm Frost, of Newport Pagnell, BKM
Eliz Boys [no abode in transcription]

Really please is this all true
please don't go off at me not giving much information. It is all in boxes as upstairs is being sorted and decorated for my other half who recently under went a tumor removal on her spine. So it isnt me just repeating a request honest.
This all sounds so feasible and the names Mary AULT Charles Frosts mother maybe the sister of charles Ault who left the will.

                                  sue  :D

As Charles Ault referred to Charles Frost son of Henry Frost as his nephew, and mentioned a sister Mary, that's my interpretation too. Mary Frost née Ault was Charles Ault's sister.

Do you subscribe to Ancestry where you can view the will yourself? If not I'll go through it and pull out vital bits. It goes on a bit so I won't do a full transcription
