I'm not sure... i've not seen her parentage yet... i've opened my tree, so you can see the info i have so far, I'm hoping once i get the parish records cd i can find out more, and perhaps help anyone else who needs info too

Well if you want to spend £9.25 of your money on one certificate that's OK with me but why not visit the Beds Archives & view the same certificate for Free (& pay just a small fee to get it printed), & seeing as I did earlier today there are numerous marriages in Wymington of your family members you will save yourself a fortune. Also you cannot buy certificates for marriages before 1837 - because there weren't any, but the marriage entry info is available from the parish records.
of his eponymous father - the clerk)

Where is the Beds Archive? In Bedford i am assuming... i shall try and get there, trouble is i have one preschool child, and one reception year child, so free time is not very plentiful, taking them with me is not a good idea lol!, and i dont drive... so it'd have to be public transport to get there.

I have managed to con my father into taking a drive over to Wymington next week, to have a look round the old graveyard, and perhaps learn some dates/info from the stones, and the positioning of them... if there are any relevant ones there

In fact... i think a entire part of my tree may be wrong.. i have Joseph Gilbert (b.1794) married to Sarah Desborough (b.1796)... but, this info was taken from someone elses tree..

Thanks for that info... i am going to wade back through now, to verify or disprove what i have 

I've mixed up the children of Joseph Perkins i think...

I've listed them as Joseph Perkins & Elizabeth Gilbert had Selina (b.1829) and Elizabeth Perkins (b.1832), and that Joseph Perkins and Sarah Desborough had Sarah Perkins (b.1830)..i've got them wrong haven't i?

Should it be Selina and Sarah from Joseph/Sarah, and Elizabeth from Joseph/Elizabeth?

I need to come back to this refreshed tomorrow

Many thanks again, i cannot believe how far back I've got in a relatively short space of time on this forum

It IS very confusing Nad81
Joseph PERKINS,  Sarah/Elizabeth/Selenas Father was Widowed by 1841.
1841 he is living with Daug Sarah (who Married Charles Church) and his new Wife to be Elizabeth GILBERT + her 2 Children from her 1st Marriage.

From freebmd.org.uk
Marriages Dec 1843
Gilbert    Elizabeth        Wellingbro    15   857   
Perkins    Joseph         Wellingbro    15   857

Luckily it is one of the few Marriages that only 2 people are shown so we know they Married one another.
If you do get the Cert I would not be surprised if Joseph Married his Brothers Widow.
We will know this by finding her maidenname;
Eg Cert will say Elizabeth Gilbert, Widow, nee ..., Father John..., Ag Lab
Then we can find the Marriage and figure out if maybe Joseph had a Brother with that name.
The Cert should contain lots of info on Joseph also.

I think it is a good idea to sort out what we can confirm before going back too many generations.

All this help is very much appreciated
