There is a fabulous report of the wedding in The Standard, 24 June 1830, however it doesn't mention the bride's family.

"Last Thursday a young man, named David Harrard, was married at Freiston, and while the happy bride and groom were coming from church, a girl, who lives servant to Mr. Tinks, at the Bull Inn, and who fancied that she had more right to David than the other girl, proceded up stairs, with her master's gun, which was loaded, and, having taken her station at a chamber window, remained there, with the avowed intention of shooting the false Lothario on his return from church. Fortunately, however, the wedding party returned by a different route, or else the enraged girl might have accomplished her fatal purpose. - Boston Gazettte"
Wow thanks for finding that :)

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Sarah Gibson of Algarkirk
« on: Wednesday 08 April 20 20:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone
My 3rd Great Grandmother Sarah Gibson (or Gipson) always shows her place of birth in Census as Algarkirk but her date of birth moves from about 1805 to 1811.
She Marries David Harrod in Freiston in 1830 as Gibson but I cannot find anything prior to that date either about her or her parents.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
Allan

Hi Thomas.
For some reason I can't reply to your message so have to post here.
I am directly descended from George Clarkson and Susannah Mountford and I am still a Clarkson some 11 generations later.
If John the convict is the one that went to Australia, no I haven't proved a connection yet but there must be one.
 I would love to chat more.
Regards
Allan

Hi MrDudley. I see that we are both descendants of George and Susannah Clarkson. George being my 8th Great GF.
I would love to be able to chat to someone about the Mountfords and Clarksons so would be pleased if we could chat direct in some way.
Regards, Allan
