Marsh and Plum families pre 1800
« on: Saturday 06 January 18 13:40 GMT (UK) »
I am returning to some Oxfordshire ancestors whom I gave up on about five years ago in the hope that more information may become available on the internet.
But I still don't seem to be getting anywhere so wondered if anyone can help.
The earliest certificate I have is a marriage 24th September 1837 at the Parish of St. Mary Magdalene,Oxford.
The couple were Henry Plum..over 21..occ. Servant...fathers name also Henry Plum..Servant
And Mary Ann Marsh...over 21.. the daughter of Charles Abraham Marsh...shoemaker.

The witnesses were Thomas Fitchett and Jane Cooling.
Any information regarding the couple and/or their families would be a great help.

Thanks for reading and a Happy New Year to all. :)

Do you have approximate ages for the couple?  1851 census would help with age and birthplace.

All the best
Philip

Nice work, Rosie.  The Marsh family may be easier to find as they seem to be local.  Henry Plum might have been born anywhere.

Thank you so much, you have given me plenty to work on now.
