The first place to start, at least for Beds, is the IGI at www.familysearch.org

There's a George Henery Giddings baptised in 1833 at Clophill, parents William and Elizabeth. Clophill and Flitton are only a mile apart.

You'll also find what appears to be the marriage of William and Elizabeth in 1832 in Flitton

Hi Karenlee and David

Thanks for the information, you have the correct family in 1841.  I have got back one more generation and also obtained siblings of George.  I  found the marriage in Flitton in 1832.  Have you found the census of this couple in 1851?

Thanks again
