For some time now I have been looking for the first marriage of my great x 2 grandfather Samuel Basébé to Jane Brown(e). I can't find them on FreeBMD or in any parish records that are on- line.
Samuel was baptised in St Leonards, Shoreditch in 1835, son of Thomas and Charlotte.
I have found him, imaginatively mistranscibed, in all censuses.
In 1851 he is single but by 1861 he is with Jane and their first child Rosina, aged 1, living in Chelsea. Jane's birthplace is given as Dublin. I don't think they married in Ireland as I think I have Jane on the 1851 living with an Aunt in Chelsea.
From Rosina's birth certificate she was born 25/9/1859
I have also found his subsequent 2 marriages to Alice Ayre and Hannah Symons.
Any help or ideas where to look next gratefully received.
