Looking for dates (dd/mm/yy) for a Samuel Hardy. Born in Long Melford @ 1830. Married Susannah or Susan Britton in 1852 in Long Melford then he tragically died the same year and buried in Long Melford. If anyone has access to the parish records would be very grateful. I live in Australia which makes things difficult.

As you are in Aus Pugugly, you may like to know that walking from Long Melford to the adjacent parish of Acton would not take too long. When I lived in Long Melford a friend in Acton would walk with baby in buggy to visit.

Thank you; Rosie99, Josey & Suffolkmawther
This marriage is at a convoluted end of double marriages that relate to the family line of Smith.
After her husband died, Susannah married a Henry Steggles from Lawshall. Looking at a map I can see that all these places are very close together.
Looks like I will have to get the marriage GRO after all.
Everyone, thank you for your help
