Hello,
The couple were christening children in Great Sampford in the 1740s and 50s. They christened a son, William Flood Gray, on the 4th of May 1755. There is a Susan Flood christened in Great Sampford in 1720. Can anyone find a marriage record?
I'd appreciate any help!
Adam

Jno Grey and Mary Flood, married at Hempstead, St Andrew, 3 Oct. 1742. Hempstead is adjacent to Great Sampford

Thanks! That's great.

Does it definitely say Mary? I have her down as Susan Gray on the baptisms.

The original record is difficult to read but i am fairly certain it is Mary definitely not Susan. The surname could be GRAY but I think it reads GREY, however that would be down to the personal interpretation of the person writing the entry
I have come across incorrect entries, I sometimes wonder how long after the event the register was actually completed especially before 1754.

Thanks for that. I'll note it down as a possible.
