1841 Census lookup Wiggenhall St Mary Magdalen - Spinks & Brighton

[gdimond]

I would appreciate any information on the following people:

Sarah Brighton (daughter of William Brighton) married William Spinks
(son of Abraham Spinks) on 12th April, 1841 at the Parish Church of
Wiggenhall St Mary Magdalen.    Witnesses were Henry (I think)
Robertson and Elizabeth Day.

Their Residence at the time of the marriage was Magdalen (which I
assume is the same place).

Thanking you in anticipation.

Wow Jan - that was quick!

Thank you so much.  My husband's family has been trying to trace Sarah
Brighton for quite a few years - but there have been problems confirming
information on certificates in Australia.

I ordered their marriage certificate and just received it today, so we are
all very happy to get some more information.

Thank you again

Glad to have helped. I had a quick look for Abraham Spinks and William Brighton in 1851 but can't see either of them.
Cheers Jan
