Surrey / Is this likely - Richard Head marriage in Byfleet 1802
« on: Sunday 09 October 11 18:44 BST (UK) »
Dear all,
I am tracing a branch of the the Head family who resided in Chobham in the early 1800's. The info I have so far is that Stephen Head, my umpteen great grandfather, was baptised in Chobham on 11 June 1815, the son of Richard and Elisabeth. He had 1 brother (James, bap 30 June 1811) and 2 sisters (Sarah, bap 20 Sep 1806, and Charlotte, bap 22 may 1808).
I cannot find a marriage of Richard and Elisabeth in Chobham, but did locate one for Richard Head and Elizabeth Spong in Byfleet on 22 August 1802.
Thing is they disappear from 1802 to 1806 when they crop up in Chobham. I have checked all the surrounding parishes and cannot find them.
So is it possible that they didn't have any children till 1806, or have I missed something?
Any ideas?
