Title: Marriage Look Up - Foxton
Post by: Beginnersluck on Saturday 05 June 10 18:37 BST (UK)

Hi
If someone is going to Cambs record office could they look up a marriage for me. James Wisbey married Elizabeth?? Any details from the record would be much appreciated. Elizabeth was from Foxton, b abt 1801. No marriage in parish of her husband or where they had their children. Think the marriage would have been abt 1825ish as first child born late 1826
Many thanks, Barbara

Many thanks - you're a star.

Odd that James was born Clavering though, married in Foxton saying he was from Anstey, goes to Nuthampstead (Barkway) where he has his children, and yet by 1839 he owns and occupys 86 acres back in Clavering as per Tithe Award and his Will. And it wasn't from his father as he was the only one left without anything in his father's will!

He could have already been "looked after" by his father, which was the reason he was left nothing in the will
