Princes Risborough parish records

[JennMorgon]

I need help looking up parish records for Joseph Nottingham a shoe maker born in Kinsey in 1806.  Joseph married a lady called Ann, surname unknown,  possibly around 1834 or 1835.  Their first daughter Emma was born in 1836 and a second daughter born 1838.  Anne Nottingham died in January  1839 in Princes Risborough aged 28.   If anyone has access to the parish records I would be so grateful to find out the date of marriage and name of his first wife Ann.   Many thanks

Thank you for your help Steve.  If you have access to the Princes R records could you please see if there is a second marriage for Joseph Nottingham.  Her name is Sarah Woodbridge and if there is a marriage recorded it would be after the death of Anne in 1839 and before 1841 when Sarah was recorded as wife of Joseph.
Many thanks once again

There are more baptisms after 1817.

I have no subs for Ancestry...but there is a Marriage outiline for Jospeph Nottingham to a Ann WOODBRIDGE, in the London marriages and Banns.  (I have no dates)

No marriage for Joseph Nottingham in Princes Risborough.   I will check Lacey Green. which was a chapelry for Princes Risborough until 1825, but no marriage there either.

Thank you so much for all your help Steve.  I suppose it's possible Anne Woodbridge married him and then died.  He then married younger sister Sarah Woodbridge.  All census returns show the wife as Sarah, and the presence of wife's mother on one census return confirms the surname of Woodbridge for wife number two.
Thank you again for your time

Following on from Bucksboys post the Joseph Nottingham / Ann Woodbridge marriage took place at Hillingdon, Middx 6 Oct 1833, they were both of the parish.  One of the witnesses was Sarah Woodbridge

Thank you Bucksboy and Rosie99.  It seems as though he married older sister Ann Woodbridge but she died in January 1839.  Her sister Sarah then came to look after family and ended up having children with Joseph.  Just found out that at that time it was not allowed for a man to marry his dead wife's sister .  The law to change this happened in 1907.  Mystery solved as to why there appears to be no marriage record for Joseph and Sarah.  Thank you both for all your help.

Although marrying a dead wifes sister was not allowed it did still happen often in another parish
