I know this reply is coming well over a year late so apologies for reviving a dead thread. I wanted to confirm that the sister mentioned (Phyllis Louisa Dodd or Walters) is deceased.

The 1954 death notice of her father, Roy Robert Walters (alias James Marcus John Moris Dodds), refers to Phyllis as Mrs Jones: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245563470?searchTerm=%22Roy%20Robert%22%20Walters.

In 1949, Phyllis Louisa was living at Charles St, Launceston with her husband George Robert William Jones (and later at other addresses in Launceston). This is the same address as Phyllis' mother, Mary Elizabeth.

Phyllis (d 1980) is buried with her husband George (d 1990) at Car Villa Cemetery in Launceston. See, respectively, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/212880136/phyllis-louisa-jones and https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/212879683/george-robert_william-jones.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Sandy.

Thank you PalmTree1 and Craclyn for your replies. Paul, I'm very grateful for your information.

Good evening (from Down Under),

I am wondering if anyone could please point me to the right database/s for marriages in Northampton (the town) during the period between 1810 to 1820.

I've tried Ancestry (eg Extracted Parish Records for Northampton), FreeREG, findmypast, etc. I'm afraid I may looking in all the wrong places.

George Atkinson married a 'Jane' in Northampton probably between 1815 and 1819 only based on the fact that the Atkinsons baptised their children at St Giles (one child at Doddridge Memorial though) between 1819 and 1828.

Because most of the children were baptised at St Giles, would I be right in saying that it was usual for families to remain within that parochial area for earlier events like marriage too? It appears that the FreeREG database would not cover the presumed St Giles period referred to above.

I would be most grateful any help or guidance on database usage.

Many thanks,

Sarah
