Found this marriage for one set of my gt gt gt grandparents on Familysearch and wondered if anyone is able to access to the original record book.

The marriage was on 01 Aug 1802 at Saint Michael, Tatenhill, Staffordshire. I'm wondering what other information is in the record - father's names, ages, or witnesses etc.

Thank you in advance,

Well, this could put a new wrinkle into genealogy.

British Columbia couple take their last names - Gick and Wagner - to make a new name - Wickner - and follow through with the proper paperwork to make the new name a legal one 

I've never heard of it, but apparently it has happened before. Good thing it wasn't a popular idea a couple of hundred years ago

In 1861 my gt grandmother (Mary A. Blower) is a servant in the Charles Neville household in Weston on Trent, Derbyshire. I'm wondering if she has a family connection to the Housekeeper - Mary Nixon (b. 1829) who is shown as born in an unknown location in Leicestershire.

But I can't seem to find Mary Nixon anywhere other than this 1861 census.

1861 UK Census: RG09 / 2489 / 110 / 3 (Weston on Trent, Derbyshire)
Mary Nixon - Housekeeper - unmarried - 32 - Farmer's Housekeeper - Leicestershire, N.K.

Can anyone help?

On a recent trip to Manitoba I found the gravestone for my distant cousins William and Elizabeth Shepherd. The stone reads:

William Shepherd late of Winshill, Derbyshire, Died May 24, 1892, Aged 64 years.
Elizabeth Archer, wife of the above, Died May 17, 1905, Aged 72.

William and Elizabeth, along with their married and unmarried children emigrated to Canada (Rathwell, Manitoba) around 1885.

The 1861, 1871 and 1881 England Census show Elizabeth as born around 1833 in Upton, Leicestershire and William as born around 1828 in Bentley, Warwickshire.

I've always thought this was their marriage in 1852 and can't find a Shepherd/Archer marriage.
Nov. 1, 1852 - Parish Church - Ansley - Warwickshire
William Shepherd, 25, Bachelor, Labourer, Ansley, father - William, Labourer.
Elizabeth Bosworth, 20, Spinster, Servant, Ansley, no father listed.
Witnesses, George Shepherd and Hanah Rowley.

The surname Bosworth is also shown for Elizabeth in the marriage banns

Hoping someone can help sort out my Elizabeth. The gravestone was the first time I've associated the Archer name with Elizabeth Shepherd. I've always thought her maiden surname was Bosworth but now wonder if it was Archer. Either way no matter which name is used I can't seem to figure out where she was in the 1851 or 1841 England Census.

All ideas and help appreciated.

Hello

I have found a record on Family Search for the marriage of James Sedgwick and Mary Robbins on 01 February 1815 in Aston Juxta, Birmingham.

Wondering if anyone is able to look up the record to see if there is any more information available on them.

All help appreciated,
