If any kind soul has access to Ravensden marriage records, I'd appreciate a couple of lookups.
My ggg-grandfather was John Armstrong of Ravensden in Beds, b about 1800 and baptised 15 November 1802 along with two siblings, Elizabeth and Ann. Their parents are given as John Armstrong and Sarah. (IGI extraction, Batch no C148781)
The children of John and Sarah baptised in the years either side of 1800 are the earliest Armstrong records in the batch, so it's likely that John Armstrong Senior came from somewhere else.
John Armstrong Junior married twice - first to Jane, with whom had at least one child, Sarah/Sally, baptised 16 Jan 1831.
Jane was buried at Ravensden All Saints 1 July 1833 (NBI)
John then married Eleanor Green with whom he had several more children, although the Rebecca listed on the IGI as the daughter of John and Eleanor is almost certainly the daughter of John and Jane, baptised late in a job lot with 2 younger siblings.
Eleanor also died young, and was buried 20 Jun 1843 at Ravensden All Saints. (NBI)
So my queries are:
Is there a marriage for a John Armstrong and Sarah around 1790-1800 in Ravensden?
Is there a marriage listed for John Armstrong and Jane in Ravensden? Date would be around 1828-1830.
And is his marriage to Eleanor Green listed? This would have been in 1833 or 1834. I found Eleanor's maiden name from her daughter Sophia's birth certificate, so am fairly certain that it is correct.
If anyone can help I would be very grateful!
Best regards
Wendy
