Campton lookup please - Briggs

[byron]

Hello
I have a William Lamb Briggs who lived in Colchester, Essex from at least 1865 but was born in Campton, Beds c1824.
Would someone be able to look up his baptism details or are there any census indexes available for 1841, 51, 61?
Thanks for looking

Following from Campton/Shefford Parish Register.

7/11/1824 Robert son of Robert/Sarah Briggs, of St Peters, St Alban, victualler.

Marriage.

William Hanscombe of the parish Town of Shefford, Batchelor and Sarah Rogers of the same place were married after banns on the 16/11/1817. Witness  to marriage were Mark William Pope. Hannah Rogers. John Devereux.   John Devereux only signatory.

Robert Briggs of this parish and Sarah Lamb of this parish were married after banns on the 26/12/1822. Witness to marriage were George Lamb. Ann Briggs. Stephen Sloughton. All signed the register.

Am not too sure that it was " Sloughton"......something like that.

Hope this is what you want, Waterfall

Hi waterfall - that's excellent and very kind of you

I had no info on William Lamb Briggs' mother but was hoping that she may have been called Lamb. I had found his father as Robert from the will on the site mentioned by criggy.
Thanks very much for finding that info for me I'm really thrilled
