Hello,
I need Information for John Wood and Sarah Scriven or Scrivens. They married on the 21 of april 1786 in Burstow, Surrey. I want to know where and when John and Sarah were born. And I also want to know their parents names,please!
Best wishes
Jane :)

Although they married in Surrey - what evidence do you have they were both born there? Wood is a very common surname so some guideline as to their respective birthyears is needed.
How old were they when they died?
Is Sarah shown as a spinster or a widow on the 1786 marriage entry?

John Wood died 2. December 1841 in Burstow, age unknown. Sarah died 13 June 1833 in Burstow, age unknown. The Information come from familysearch records. A Familytree stated that she was born on the 11 of May 1765 in Burstow but without her Parents names , and that John was born 1761 in Horley, Surrey and was christened on the 17 of February 1762 in Saint Saviour, Southwark, Surrey , also without Parents names.
Best wishes

John Wood died 2. December 1841 in Burstow, age unknown
As per https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp he was 81. 1841 census shows him aged 80 and born in county
Family Search has 2 baptisms in 1760 in different parts of Surrey

Sarah died 13 June 1833 in Burstow, age unknown.
That was her burial date - not her death date. She was 66 so approx birthyear 1766/7
